Brittany Howard, born October 2, 1988, in Athens, Alabama, first made the world stop and stare as the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter of Alabama Shakes, a voice that could go from a whisper to a full-body roar without warning. Between that band and her own records she has collected five Grammy Awards from 18 nominations, and she found time on the side to play bass in Thunderbitch and acoustic guitar and double bass in the trio Bermuda Triangle.

When Alabama Shakes went on hiatus in 2018, she stepped out alone, and Jaime in 2019 was a revelation: loose, adventurous, deeply personal soul and rock that sounds like it was recorded in a dream about a basement party. Critics loved it, it picked up seven Grammy nominations, and "Stay High", a sweet, sunlit slow jam, won Best Rock Song. "History Repeats" showed off her funkier, twitchier side. What Now followed in February 2024, its title track pushing even further out, and in early 2025 Alabama Shakes announced they were getting back together for a summer tour.
