The Black Keys and Sounds of the City

Akron's Black Keys, comprising Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, evolved from blues-rock roots into a versatile act. Known for hits "Tighten Up" and "Lonely Boy," they achieved Grammy wins, hit platinum with Brothers, and expanded their sound with producer Danger Mouse. Collaborations include ZZ Top's Billy F. Gibbons and Kings of Leon's Angelo Petraglia. After a hiatus, they returned with Let's Rock in 2019 and the acclaimed Delta Kream in 2021, showcasing Mississippi blues. Frequent collaborators, they've worked with Alice Cooper, releasing "Stay in Your Grave."
