In the weeks following the GRAMMY® Awards and the band’s appearances on “Saturday Night Live” and “Austin City Limits,” Alabama Shakes’ debut album, Boys & Girls (ATO Records), sold 100,000 additional copies. It is now RIAA Certified Gold. “As for carving out space and winning new listeners at The GRAMMYS, [vocalist] Brittany Howard probably converted the most folks through the sheer power of performance,” said The New Yorker.
“Hold On” was voted the #1 Best Song of 2012 by Rolling Stone. The accompanying video has more than five million views and is in “Large” rotation at VH1. The track is featured on the 2013 GRAMMY Nominees compilation. “Always Alright” is included prominently in The Weinstein Company’sOscar-nominatedSilver Linings Playbook, which stars Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro and Chris Tucker, and can be found exclusively on the film’s soundtrack.
Alabama Shakes – comprising vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, drummer Steve Johnson and bassist Zac Cockrell – are based in Athens, AL. The group was named Best Touring Band at the Pollstar Awards, Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Association’s Honors and Awards ceremony andBest New Artist of the Year at the Triple A radio conference.
