Howard rose to fame in 2012 when the band Alabama Shakes skyrocketed out of Athens, releasing a debut album “Boys & Girls” before their 2015 sophomore effort “Sound & Color.” She went solo in 2019, when she released the album “Jaime,” which landed on best-of-the-year lists from Pitchfork, The New York Times and Rolling Stone, and was named NPR’s album of the year.

“I couldn’t be happier to announce my new partnership with Island Records, a label with such an incredible legacy and team,” Howard said in a statement. “I cannot wait for the world to hear my new music and to start touring again.”

“I’m a huge admirer of Brittany,” Island Records Co-CEO Eshak said in a release. “She’s already solidified herself as one of the great talents of her generation and is just getting started. Her artistry fits perfectly with Island’s unique legacy, and I’m delighted we get to play a role in her career moving forward.”

Rolling Stone named “Hold On,” from the Alabama Shakes’ first album, its No. 1 song of the year. It was also nominated for the Best Rock Performance Grammy Award. The band’s second album included songs like “Don’t Wanna Fight” and “Gimme All Your Love,” both of which they performed on on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”

“Sound & Color” won the Grammy for Best Alternative Album in 2016. “Don’t Wanna Fight” won two Grammys, for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.

Howard’s solo debut album “Jaime,” scored seven Grammy nominations, winning Best Rock Song for “Stay High.”

Howard last performed at Evolution Festival at Forest Park in St. Louis, Wonderbus in Columbus, and Bumbershoot in Seattle. Prior to the fall 2023 tour, she will perform at Bourbon & Beyond on Sept. 15 in Louisville.
