Grammy Award winning Alabama is an American country music band
formed in Fort Payne, Alabama, in 1969.
Alabama's biggest success came in the 1980s, where the band had over 27
number one hits, seven multi-platinum albums and received numerous awards.
Alabama has more than 41 number one country records on the Billboard
charts to their credit and have sold more than 75 million records, making them
the most successful band in country music history. AllMusic credited the band
with popularizing the idea of a country band and wrote that "It's unlikely that
any other country group will be able to surpass the success of Alabama."

Alabama was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019
and were awarded with the first ever Life Time Achievement Award from this
institution.
In
1980, the biggest news blast in music was country, thanks to the release
of the film Urban Cowboy. Discos changed decor overnight to
become country dance clubs and Americans by the millions traded in their
loafers for cowboy boots. RCA Records had country's first
platinum-selling album with "Wanted:
The Outlaws."
Though it didn't grab many headlines at the time, the
label had another important first that year, when on May 31st it
released "Tennessee River," the debut single from a band named
Alabama. The song shot to #1, the first of 40 Radio & Records
chart toppers. The band went on to win the Academy of Country Music's Artist
of the Decade title for the 1980's, sell in excess of 45 million
albums, become the first group to ever be named the Country Music
Association's Entertainer of the Year and forever change the way
bands were accepted in the country format.
In 1973 the band relocated to Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, to become the house band for a club called The Bowery. Working
for tips, they played six nights a week honing the harmonies that would
later become a trademark. They stayed seven summers at The Bowery,
gaining a huge regional following, changing the band name to Alabama
and utilizing one drummer after another before Mark Herndon came into
the picture.
Their sound depended on them playing their instruments and Mark adding
his drum edge. RCA listened to that sound and agreed and with the major
label backing them up, Alabama began to change the way the
industry looked at bands. The debut album on RCA was title "My
Home's In Alabama," and every song released from it became a #1
hit.
By 1981, Alabama was named Top Vocal Group of
the Year by the Country Music Association, the first of more than
150 major music awards they would receive in the next fifteen years. The
following year the band again took home the CMA's Vocal Group of the
Year, as well as the Academy of Country Music's Entertainer of the Year.
They also won the CMA's Instrumental Group of the Year, signaling that
the CMA, for one, recognized that something new was afoot.
The fans kept right on buying Alabama's albums,
too. "Feels
So Right" and "Mountain
Music" were certified triple platinum in 1984, "Roll
On" and "The
Closer You Get" were certified double platinum. One of their #1
singles that year, "If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have a
Fiddle In The Band)" is considered one of the most important
singles released that year and became one of the all-time most covered
tunes by other groups.
Another signature song, "Forty Hour Week (For a
Livin')," was a tribute to America's working man and hit the top
chart sport in 1985. Because of Alabama's success, more and more
bands were getting a shot at stardom: Both Restless Heart and
Sawyer
Brown emerged in the mid-1980's and benefited tremendously from Alabama's
ground-breaking work.
You'd think that a band with this much star power
might begin to slow down round the time it turned ten years old, but not
so with Alabama. In 1990 Alabama released "Jukebox In
My Mind," which became the biggest chart record they've had to
date, according to the Billboard researcher Joel Whitburn.
Another huge single, "I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)," stayed #1
for two straight weeks in 1992. Mark Herndon left the
band in 2008.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BOOK/HIRE ALABAMA?
(i.e., what is the booking fee to hire ALABAMA for an event?)
(i.e., what is ALABAMA booking fee to perform at an event?)
Official booking fees for ALABAMA, or any other celebrity, are
determined based on a number of factors and may change at anytime without prior
notice.
Factors influencing pricing vary and may include date, location, type of
event, whether a private party or a public concert, the artist's calendar,
whether the artist is on tour or not, how well tickets are selling at the
artist's concerts, the current demand for the artist's music, market activity, etc.
As you might expect, the more in-demand the artist is, the more buyers are
prepared to pay. Of course, this causes the artist's price to increase as
the artist becomes more popular or decrease when becoming less popular.
Exclusive agents with exclusive representation frequently quote a
range instead of a specific price, since changes can occur at anytime.
Generally, the
artist's manager has a role in the decision to accept any
particular offer from a talent buyer.
