Prior to this weekend’s festival, Howard will headline two shows at Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club (August 23 and 24). Her North American tour will also include an evening at New York City’s Beacon Theatre (September 24) and a two-night stand at Los Angeles’ Theatre at Ace Hotel (October 8 and 9). She’ll be accompanied by the band seen in the new live video: drummer Nate Smith and bassist Zac Cockrell (Alabama Shakes), who both also played on Jaime, keyboardist Paul Horton (Alabama Shakes), guitarists Alex Chakour (Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings) and Brad Allen Williams (José James, CeCe Winans) plus Alabama Shakes’ background vocalists Lloyd Buchanan (who also plays keys), Karita Law and Shanay Johnson.
Tickets are available at
www.brittanyhoward.com. Every online ticket purchased for the U.S. headline dates on the fall tour will include a CD of the new album,
Jaime.
See below for full itinerary and newly announced supporting acts.
“Stay High” entered
Billboard’s Triple A Songs chart at No.15 and is now in the top 10. Views of the
official video, which stars
Terry Crews (“Everybody Hates Chris”,
The Expendables films, D
eadpool 2, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “America’s Got Talent”), have surpassed six million. Fans who
pre-order Jaime in digital format will instantly receive
“Stay High,” “He Loves Me” and
“History Repeats.” The album is
set for September 20 release on ATO Records.
In a four star review, MOJO said, “Jaime is a giant leap forward: a testimony of liberation, creatively uncompromising but just as accessible as Howard’s old music.” Rolling Stonehailed it as “her most ambitious recording ever, full of synthed-out psychedelic funk, druggy soul ballads, hip-hop loops, and lyrics grappling with her past, including sexuality, family tragedy, religious guilt and more.” AFROPUNK noted, “It’s an album that is all about turning the things Howard once looked away from – maybe even kept private for understandable reasons – and finds something new and beautiful from it.”
As the frontwoman and guitarist for Alabama Shakes, Howard has become one of music’s most celebrated figures. The band has won four GRAMMY Awards and topped the Billboard 200 with the Gold-certified Sound & Color, the follow-up to its Platinum debut album, Boys & Girls.
