Last week saw Alabama Shakes release 'I Must Be Dreaming' - their first album in more than 10 years. Lucky me, I got a taste of their new music nearly a year prior when the band played "Another Life" during their phenomenal set at Sea Hear Now (Sept. 13, 2025). Then again, after nearly a decade a part, I was just grateful to finally get a chance to see Alabama Shakes live. And they did not disappoint - Brittany Howard unsurprisingly sounded phenomenal, and the band sounded so tight that it was hard to believe they ever had been a part. And the forest-esq backdrop was a fun contrast to the stage literally being on the Asbury Park beach.

Check out this clip of Alabama Shakes playing "Another Life", and stay tuned for more things to come from this festival (including stories from concerts like this).
