Next Big Thing in Music - The Alabama Shakes

The Alabama Shakes

Don't let the name fool you.  The Alabama Shakes are the real deal.  A virtually undiscovered band until
The Guardian in the UK ran this piece about them. Since then the band has been on a whirlwind tour of record exec offices in Nashville, LA & New York. In the span of just a few weeks the band's front woman went from being employed by the USPS to stepping off a small stage in Nashville only to find Jack White and all of the Kings of Leon waiting for her backstage to share their excitement about what they witnessed on stage.  This band is special.  You can see them live tomorrow night at the Bowery Ballroom as part of the CMJ series, tickets are still available.   You can hear their music HERE  Do it! You can thank me later.
