LINCOLN CENTER LIVE: THE MUSCLE SHOALS ALL-STARS
Wednesday, March 1 @ 6 PM
The Muscle Shoals All-Stars
with special guests Patterson Hood, Bettye LaVette,
Sam Moore, Dan Penn,
Donnie Fritts and John Paul White
This is a screening of The Muscle Shoals All-Stars
performance at Lincoln Center's Out of Doors festival on July 22, 2015.
The Muscle Shoals All-Stars-Jimmy Johnson and David Hood of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (also known as the Swampers), the Muscle Shoals Horns, and a host of others-are the architects of some of the most iconic music this country has ever produced. Backing artists like Aretha Franklin, the Rolling Stones, the Staple Singers, Paul Simon, Jimmy Cliff, and Percy Sledge, and "creating licks and riffs that take no more than five
notes
to name" (Allmusic.com), this rhythm section developed a distinct Muscle Shoals sound. Making a rare trip together outside the studio, the Muscle Shoals All-Stars will perform the songs that helped propel them deep into the canon of American popular music.
Opening the evening will be lauded Alabama songwriter and session man Donnie Fritts alongside John Paul White, formerly of the Grammy-winning duo the Civil Wars, performing songs from their forthcoming Single Lock Records release.
