Spotlight On: BRITTANY HOWARD

Written By Carmel Holt

ABOUT this week’s podcast guest + radio hour featured interview:

I've been a fan of today’s guest for over a decade now, and it’s been thrilling to see and hear her evolution and her awe-inspiring presence in music unfold in real time. Starting with the Grammy-winning band Alabama Shakes’ 2012 debut album Boys & Girls, which drew on their Southern roots and rock and roll, then bringing in a genre-defying and cosmic palette on Sound & Color in 2015, then veering into lo-fi, garage and glam on her side project Thunderbitch, the front porch folk songs of Bermuda Triangle in 2018, and then the universally critically acclaimed 2019 solo debut, Jaime, which earned her seven grammy nominations. The sonic worlds that singer, songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Brittany Howard creates are always expansive, exciting, and truly visionary. her second solo effort, what now is no exception. To celebrate its release, I'm so thrilled to bring you a special two-part featured interview and welcome Brittany Howard as this week’s SHERO in the Spotlight.
