oys in the Band: The Alabama Tribute
Presented by Divided Sky Entertainment
Fort Payne’s own Boys in the Band bring their #1 Alabama tribute show to the Caterpillar Performing Arts Center on October 23!
In 1969 three cousins in Fort Payne, Alabama joined their talents to create down home country music. Young Country became Wild Country who played for seven years as the house band in Myrtle Beach, SC, at a beachside bar called The Bowery. There they would change their name to Alabama, hit it big with their first number one record, “Tennessee River,” and the rest is history.
Boys in the Band also hail from Fort Payne and aim to give the Alabama experience to lifelong fans while introducing younger generations to the magic of their timeless music. The Alabama Tribute show is a high-energy concert with note for note renditions of Alabama’s live performances over their fifty-year reign as the greatest country music group of all time.
There will never be another Alabama, but Boys in the Band strives to keep sharing the music and showmanship made famous by their small-town heroes.
