Out of the land that brought you Sam Phillips, Percy Sledge, The Decoys, Shenandoah, Arthur Alexander, James Carr, Angela Hacker, The Alabama Shakes, The Swampers (Barry Beckett, Roger Hawkins, David Hood, Jimmy Johnson), and various other musicians as well as the home of both Fame Recording and Muscle Shoals Sound Studios (which recorded and mastered artists such as Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Lynard Skynard, The Allman Brothers Band, and many more), comes Shoals Area Music (SAM!) SAM will search the Quad cities area (Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, and Tuscumbia) as well as Colbert, Franklin, Lauderdale, and Lawrence county for original artist and bands and then share them with the shoals and beyond! We will try to have a strong presence at local events and represent the Shoals music scene to the best of our ability. Be on the lookout for our team as they scour the area taking photographs, videos, and do interviews with local artists/bands. If you know of a local, original artist or band that doesn't get mentioned, have them send us a message! www.facebook.com/shoalsareamusic www.twitter.com/shoalsareamusic www.shoalsareamusic.com samshoals@rocketmail.com
