The innovative concert series LIVE FROM THE ARTISTS DEN returns for its ninth season, featuring Billboard-topping, Grammy-winning artists performing in intimate venues ranging from the former home of the U.S. Open tennis tournament outside of New York City to a 4,800-square-foot barn in Nashville. Season nine features the Zac Brown Band delivering their mix of country, bluegrass, reggae, Southern rock, and jam music; Grammy-nominated Alabama Shakes playing their blend of fiery blues-rock and Southern soul; and alternative rockers Cage the Elephant ("Ain't No Rest for the Wicked") giving one of their signature energetic live performances.
Alabama Shakes delivered a crushingly electric set at the Loveless Barn, located directly behind Nashville’s famous Loveless Cafe. The crowd of 500 cheered each song as the band delivered a thrillingly uninhibited show. The band dashed through blistering rockabilly boogies, eruptive country-soul ballads, and more from their 2012 debut album, "Boys & Girls," and the collection of new material earmarked for a much-anticipated follow-up.
Frontwoman Brittany Howard testified to the deeply felt truths of the songs with ferocity, and her bandmates were with her all the way—gutsy, dynamic, and altogether riveting.
