The fiery jaw dropping blues-rock, Alabama Shakes & Neko Case comes to Greek Theatre Berkeley on Saturday 11th April 2015! The soulful, americana, bluesy and roots rock mixture of sounds that Alabama Shakes creates is uplifting and powerful. Their improvised live energy convinces you that they are playing for your ears only. This band has just broken through in a burst of success last year. Catch them while you can!

Alabama Shakes is an American rock band formed in Athens, Alabama, in 2009. Originally simply called the Shakes, the band's blend of fiery blues-rock and hard-hitting Southern soul drew comparisons to the Black Keys, Drive-By Truckers, the Detroit Cobras, and even Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. The band released an eponymous debut EP in September 2011, with plans to record a full-length album later in the year. Released on ATO in 2012, Boys & Girls was produced and mixed by the band at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville. The album peaked at number six in the U.S., and earned three Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist and Best Rock Performance (for "Hold On"). Second album Sound & Color appeared in April 2015. This is a very exciting band to look out for!

Neko Richelle Case is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her solo career and her contributions as a member of the Canadian indie rock group The New Pornographers. Her mix of alternative country, sometimes elegant 3 a.m. sound is informed as much by pop, jazz, and blues flavors as the country & western-slanted melodies of her first two solo albums. Which isn't to say Blacklisted is a total departure for Neko Case; her big, bold, but silky smooth voice is still a thing of beauty, and if anything, she's still learning more.
