Shaking in Cary


Friday night the Alabama Shakes came to our little town of Cary and put on one hell of a rock show.  I purchased the tickets back in June and the anticipation has been building all summer.  It's the only time in my life I looked forward to the end of summer.

The show was everything I'd hoped it would be, a 19 song set list of pure rock n roll with a heavy dose of soul.  Brittany Howard, the Shakes lead singer, is a force of nature.  She has an amazing vocal range, can jam out on her guitar and has a stage presents that makes you just fall in love with her.  And while she is a star, it's how good the rest of the band is that allows her to shine.  These are real musicians making great music and having them play in my backyard was a real treat. 

What a fabulous night.
