About this concert
A fundraiser for the Princess Theater with Michelle Malone Band! Michelle Malone returns to Decatur, AL with her heart-swelling, ferocious blend of Americana rock and country blues that have earned her both gold and platinum records and 2 grammy nods. Malone says she has found that her job is really to bring joy and build community through music. She will be armed with her band - Trish Land, Reno Roberts, Benjamin Williams, and Josh Birmingham. Expect sweet soul-stirring songs and rowdy rockers from most of her 14 of her albums. A great time will be had by all! Compared to most musical artists in the Americana genre, Michelle Malone seems like a pair of distressed blue jeans amidst a sea of pantsuits. Unlike the surplus of self-professed rootsy rebels, one listen to this woman from GA and you know you’re hearing the real thing. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist whose music is informed by blues, Alt-country, and roadhouse rock, Michelle Malone's performances can go from contemplative and coffeehouse quiet to rowdy and "Twin Reverb on 10" loud at the turn of a dime, and her passionate, uncompromising style has won her a loyal following, especially in the American South. She's a wild-haired Rock Goddess, political singer/songwriter, passionate performer with a bottleneck slide – no single characterization tells the whole story. Over the course of Malone’s career, she’s collaborated with such varied artists as Gregg Allman, Bon Iver and Indigo Girls, released more than a dozen records and went indie when it still took guts. Equal parts mean guitar slinger and sweet songstress, Michelle Malone artfully balances her penchant for ripping it through the roof with masterful lyrical introspection and vocals that range from sublime to raucous. "The kind of singer and songwriter who can jolt things into overdrive." NEW YORK TIMES "raucous and jubilant alternating between soulful ballads and rowdy, riffy blasters." ROLLING STONE "4 out of 5 Bunnies "... Malone churns up those Southern roots with the vigor of Lucinda Williams while embracing her inner Keith Richards." PLAYBOY MAG The soul of a bluesman, the heart of a folk singer, and the guts of a rock and roll star wrapped up in one fiery woman” NASHVILLE RAGE “Malone is one of the best female vocalists I’ve ever heard.” - Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers, The Rolling Stones)

Michelle Malone Biography
SHORT BIO:
"Pure, unfiltered Georgia soul lined at the edges with bluesy Americana and primal rock ‘n’ roll.”
- BLURT MAGAZINE
“Michelle Malone’s Slings and Arrows isn’t a great album because it challenges so many of the assumptions / presumptions / misconceptions about female artists. It’s just a great album; one that also happens to do do those things. It's Outrageously good. While the vocals and songs on Slings and Arrows are outstanding, the slide guitar work is the real revelation. ” NO DEPRESSION
ABOUT MICHELLE MALONE
Michelle Malone is an award-winning American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer in the rock, folk, blues and pop idioms. She is also the founder of SBS Records.
Malone was born and raised in Atlanta, GA by a musician mom with whom she toured in the summers. She grew up listening to her mother and grandmother sing in the church choir every Sunday when they werent on the road. She dropped out of high school at 16 to begin work on her rock and roll degree. After a few brushes with the law and some unsavory characters, Michelle decided to go back to high school and became the valedictorian for a small class. She attended Agnes Scott College with dreams of becoming a doctor, but was offered a record deal with Clive Davis at Arista Records, which looked alot more interesting to her than more school.
When it came time to craft her own sound, she took those religious and secular roots, blended in enough folk, blues and rock to satisfy, and came up with a rootsy high-spirited sound that brings acoustic and electric slide and passionate vocals together harkening back to the lost recordings of Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, and Lucinda Williams.
After several major label releases, Malone is now an independent artist with 15 studio records to date and an impressive resume which includes hi profile performances with everyone from Gregg Allman to John Mayer, the Atlanta Symphony to Ellen Degeneres, various awards including best albums, 4x best singer, 3x best acoustic guitarist, and 2 Grammy ballot nominations. Her songs have appeared in such films as Bam Bam and Celeste, All Over Me, Shotgun Jesus and television programs True Blood, Dawson's Creek, Felicity, Brooklyn South. They have been recorded by Indigo Girls (for which she received both gold and platinum records), Antigone Rising, and Vistoso Bosses.
Malone has always made time for philanthropic endeavors such as running the Paris marathon for Team In Training/The Leukemia Society, and cycling with Team Earth Challenge from Atlanta to Yucca Mountain, NV in protest of the nuclear waste dumping. In 2012 she started a college scholarship fund for girls in need. She currently contributes to various women's and children's non-profit organizations, and donates time to local Georgia music organizations and schools.
Malone has performed for TedX Peachtree, sang the National Anthem for The Atlanta Braves and The Houston Comets, been honored with a Signature guitar slide modeled and named after her by Rocky Mountain Slides, was the keynote speaker at a SoCal high school graduation, has been the rhythm guitarist and mandolin player for Kristian Bush (Sugarland), a satellite member of the Indigo Girls, is endorsed by Supro USA Guitars and amps Reunion Blues, and Breedlove guitars and mandolins. Michelle's latest recording, Slings and Arrows, was released March 2018 and debuted at #8 on the Billboard Blues charts.
