History edit
The band was founded in 2011 by Matt Green and Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes).[7] The band independently released their self-titled EP later that year. In 2013, Tanner helped establish Single Lock Records, involving the band from the start and giving it a home to release The Brave and the Blue.
After a lineup change in early 2014, the group began work on a new record entitled Tuscumbia in the winter of 2015. It will be released in 2018 on Single Lock Records.[8]
The band consists of Matt Green (principal songwriter, vocalist and guitarist), Reed Watson (drums), Adam Morrow (guitar, vocals) and Hayden Crawford (bass guitar).
Belle Adair opened select shows for Alabama Shakes in 2015 and 2016.[9] They have since acted as John Paul White's backing band, currently touring throughout the United States and Europe.
