Iconic Alabama Band Releases First New Song in a Decade

Alabama Shakes reunited to create new music and reconnect after a decade, releasing their first single in 10 years and launching a North American tour through September.

  • Alabama Shakes, featuring Brittany Howard, Heath Fogg, and Zac Cockrell, released their first new song in a decade, “Another Life,” on August 29, 2025, during their North American reunion tour.

  • Touring with a nine-piece ensemble including keyboardist Ben Tanner and drummer Lewis Wright, Alabama Shakes will perform in cities such as Milwaukee on September 5 and New Orleans on September 25.
  • The new song and ongoing tour signal renewed creative momentum for the band, with Howard stating the door is open for future music and the group enjoying making music together again.
