"Dreams and the pursuit of dreams are an important part of all of our lives. American Family Insurance is dedicated to not only protecting dreams, but to inspiring people to pursue those dreams," said Telisa Yancy, American Family Insurance's advertising director. "Seeing a band at this level play for free in an intimate venue, that's a dream for many music lovers.
Alabama Shakes brings together music fans of all genres, and their selection of two of their favorite emerging bands furthers the dreams of other musicians who seek a similar level of achievement."
Alabama Shakes was invited to personally select two breakout artists to share the stage: Doc Dailey and the Pollies both hail from the Shakes' home state of
Alabama and share a similar Americana sound.

Alabama is even better," said
