Alabama Shakes
The Enmore's most soulful gig of the year.
Overview
If you like your music with a massive dash of old-school soul, get yo' self along to the Alabama Shakes' one and only Sydney show. The bluesing, rocking quartet got together five years ago, while they were all still in high school, and have since evolved into a seriously powerful live act, fronted by gutsy vocalist Brittany Howard. Rolling Stone journo Will Hermes describes her as the "soul-queen anti-diva, not afraid to sweat, howl, rock Rubenesque curves, shred on her turquoise Gibson SG or bust geeky dance moves".
Their 2012 debut album, Boys and Girls, sold more than half a million copies and inspired a 2013 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone named their single 'Hold On' (which has now clocked up 11 million-plus hits) 2012's Number One Song.
As if all of this wasn't reason enough to get you down to the Enmore, the Shakes will be sharing the bill with street-dweller-turned-soul-star Charles Bradley, who was 62-years-old when his 2011 debut album, No Time for Dreaming, transfixed global attention.
