Alabama Shakes Gets the Crowd Shaking
The crowd at this year’s Farm Aid was heavy on classic-rock and country fans, and it seemed like a decent chunk of them weren’t familiar with Alabama Shakes when the band first took the stage. But most anyone that watches Brittany Howard and Co. perform for more than a minute becomes an instant convert. Howard worked the stage like a woman possessed, tearing through songs from both Alabama Shakes albums with an avalanche of passion. By the midpoint of the set, people were dancing in the aisles and screaming for more.
Alabama Shakes performs their first song at Farm Aid 2016 at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, on September 17th.
