Future Black History Month: Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard & Her Epiphanic Rock
As Fuse celebrates an extended Black History Month, we’re highlighting a variety of rising talents who are creating history right before our eyes. Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard is not merely a great rock frontwoman, she’s a sonic force of nature with the deep pipes, emotional songwriting chops and killer riffs that can’t help but make you feel all the feels.
She and the band walked away with an armful of GRAMMYs a few days ago for their second album, Sound & Color, but the most mesmerizing moment was when they performed and the cameras focused right on Brittany as she let out a galvanic wail, wrangled that turquoise axe and kicked it through “Don’t Wanna Fight.”
