Alabama Shakes and Greensky Bluegrass

I have seen the group Alabama Shakes perform many times and all I can say is that it gets better and better each time. The latest show was absolutely mind blowing and simply fantastic to be a part of the crowd watching them live on stage.

Brittany Howard, who is the group's lead and guitarist, has one of the most powerful voices I have heard in a long time and her guitar solos are freaking awesome. Everyone had such a good time that you will find yourself singing and dancing from the beginning of the show, right up until the end. Most of their venues are very accommodating and the stage is just the group and their instruments, not much else going on the stage like you see at other shows and artists.

What I like about them is that they give their all into every single performance, no holding back and this is what the fans enjoy seeing. Their sound is mostly Blues and Southern Rock that is delivered beautifully by this group especially Brittany.

If ever they are performing, I make it a must to go see them because I know I am sure to have a blast.

Greensky Bluegrass, the name alone tells you how immensely pleasant the music emanating from this band has become. The five member progressive bluegrass band sound fine as ever, this is the music that I love and apparently the whole of the venue too. The type of music which allows you to forget you're even listening as the sound takes you away from the world and makes you forget life's little issues, a prime example would be their song 'demons'. Music so natural that it just lets you get away from the world even if it's only for a short duration, that is the purpose of music and they have done an amazing job of fulfilling what so few manage to accomplish. 'Atlantic City' a cover of Bruce Springsteen's original, was well received by the audience and why wouldn't it be, these men have such an aura around them while they are on stage. You can feel the love vibrate off their music and put you in a place where pain and panic are just powerless words, with all natural instruments being played it's nice to see a band that relies more upon skill rather than the so familiar electricity we're all obsessed over. i feel as though paying for this show was like paying for a warm bubble bath in the great city of Atlantis and that right there is not something you hear every day! Greensky Bluegrass, although new comers to their genre, have done enough justice and made enough beautiful melodies to become recognised by all, buy tickets if they are near you, they are the remedy to many of life's little problems.
