Alabama Shakes: formed 2009, Athens (AL), USA; Initially the band was a trio (without Heath) that made a demo tape. Heath Fogg (who knew Brittany from high school) listened to the demo, and he asked if the trio would play a live concert before his own band should play, on the condition that he could play with them at the concert. They agreed, and (also because that concert was a huge success) the band was then a quartet, The Shakes that eventually became The Alabama Shakes.
Band members: Brittany Howard (vocals, guitar), Heath Fogg (guitar), Zac Cockrell (bass), Steve Johnson (drums); aka The Shakes
