Austin's "vintage soul" (AllMusic) nine-piece The Nightowls made a 1,390 mile trek from TX to Muscle Shoals, AL to record their new record 'Fame Sessions' in the same studio (Fame Studios) where iconic southern soul acts like Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett cut some of their biggest hits. They've spent the past two months bringing their "raucous live show" (Austin Monthly) across the US and are extending their nationwide tour this November/December with 10+ additional dates including stops in Los Angeles, Nashville and Atlanta.
"Sure to get you on your feet" (Southern Living), The Nightowls' live show is the sound of a soulful swing dance combined with the non-stop energy of a southern hoedown, encouraging audience participation that will "certainly inspire one to shake a tail feather" (Music Connection).
Check out this short video recap of the band wowing the crowd at ACL Fest last week:
