Booming Athens, Alabama-born singer-songwriter, Brittany Howard, is often making headlines. Whether she’s performing amongst a cornucopia of neon lights at this summer’s Lollapalooza music festival, releasing the remixes of her popular 2019 solo LP, Jaime, collaborating with A-lister, Childish Gambino, or creating some other boisterous, electrified whirlwind, Howard is a typhoon of sound and power that demands close attention.

She’s also one of the most decorated songwriters of the past 10 years, earning well over a dozen Grammy nominations to date. While there is a slew of videos, EPs, singles, and other content available, Howard has formally released four studio records in the past 10 years—two with Alabama Shakes (currently on hiatus), one as the frontwoman for Thunderbitch, and one solo under her own name.
Given all the output and newsworthy events, we thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate Howard, who announced upcoming tour dates with mega rock stars, My Morning Jacket.
