The Alabama Shakes are officially ending an eight-year hiatus with an inaugural concert at the brand-new Grind City Amphitheater on Wednesday April 22. This show marks the first time the band has toured together since their iconic Sound & Color era nearly a decade ago.
This landmark event is also the first-ever show at the highly anticipated venue which offers a stunning view of the Memphis skyline.

Riley Green is bringing his “Cowboy As It Gets” tour to the metro area on Thursday April 16 with a powerhouse lineup of traditional talent. He is bringing along Justin Moore and Drake White for a night that promises to be a masterclass in modern outlaw country.
