The Athens, AL-raised band, comprised of vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, and bassist Zac Cockrell exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their debut album Boys & Girls, (ATO Records), which entered Billboard’s Independent Albums chart at No. 1. Boys & Girls earned the band multiple GRAMMY nominations and was hailed as one of the year’s best albums by numerous publications, including Rolling Stone, which also named lead single “Hold On” the #1 Best Song of 2012. Soon after its release, the bandmates found themselves thrust into the global spotlight, achieving such milestones as performing at the White House and on “Saturday Night Live.”
 
The band’s legacy continued to grow with the groundbreaking Sound & Color (ATO Records). Released 10 years ago, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, won GRAMMY Awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. The first single, “Don’t Wanna Fight,” took honors in the Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song categories. Sound & Color marked a profound evolution from Alabama Shakes’ debut album, as The New York Times Magazine observed, heralding the band’s “soul-stirring  shape-shifting new sound.” Both Sound & Color and Boys & Girls were certified Platinum by the RIAA.
 
The Shakes’ Cockrell, Fogg, & Howard have also reunited in the studio promising new music to fans who have been eagerly awaiting their return.

Pianist/keyboardist Paul Horton (Brittany Howard, Alabama Shakes) and bassist/broadcaster Greg Bryant come together to form the beat-driven, improvisational music and research collective known as CONCURRENCE. Indivisible (available on La Reserve Recordsrepresents the duo's most ambitious album yet: music that sheds light on an overlooked chapter in American history, one which irrevocably altered Black and Brown communities across the country.

With the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower established the Interstate System that today crisscrosses the United States. The system’s construction came with devastating effects. From New York to Chicago, Miami to Los Angeles, authorities routed the interstates through centers of cultural and economic activity, displacing families and decimating businesses.

Concurrence has a firm grounding in experimental improvisation while encapsulating the groove.  Bryant and Horton (Concurrence) first honed their musical voice in the early 2000's on Jefferson Street in Nashville, Tennessee. The street was the northside hub for the city’s Black community in the 1950s and 1960s that boosted the early careers of Etta James, Jimi Hendrix, and Little Richard - a few short years before Interstate 40 carved up six hundred and twenty homes as well as sixteen entire blocks of businesses in the neighborhood. Since their debut, Concurrence has grown their musical partnership on bandstands across the United States and Canada touring independently while additionally opening for Cory Henry, Rebirth Brass Band, and Alabama Shakes.  

On Indivisible and in performance, Concurrence delivers the truth of tragedy, remembrance, and resilience in a cohesive musical voice, built over two decades of collaboration with acclaimed drummers and percussionists Nasheet Waits, Tommy Crane, Marcus Finnie, Derrek Phillips, Aaron Smith, and Giovanni Rodriguez.
