Presently nominated for three GRAMMY awards (Album of the Year, Best Rock Performance, Best Alternative Album), Sound & Color is the critically acclaimed follow-up to the Shakes’ 2012 debut Boys & Girls, which also earned the group three GRAMMY nominations (including a nod for Best New Artist). The gold-certified album’s breakthrough paved the way for the Shakes— Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, bassist Zac Cockrell, drummer Steve Johnson, and touring keyboard players Ben Tanner and Paul Horton—to become one of the most celebrated live acts in the world, as they delivered unforgettable performances everywhere from Saturday Night Live to the main stages of such festivals as Bonnaroo and Glastonbury.
