Alabama Shakes Reunite for Benefit Concert

The Alabama Shakes reunited for a surprise performance at the Tuscaloosa Get Up 3 benefit concert at the Bama Theatre, marking their first show together since 2017. Brittany Howard, originally scheduled for a solo set, surprised the audience by bringing her bandmates on stage after her solo performance of 'Short and Sweet.' The reunion celebrated their roots in Tuscaloosa and aimed to support the local live music community through proceeds from the event. The band performed a nine-song set, featuring hits from their Grammy-winning albums 'Boys & Girls' and 'Sound & Color.' Howard emphasized the significance of the location, stating, 'If there’s one place we’re gonna get back together, it’s gonna be Tuscaloosa.' The future of the band's reunion remains uncertain as they have not formally announced plans to continue performing together.
