Showdown

Showdown is based in Muscle Shoals Alabama. Muscle Shoals is known for recording many hit songs from the 1960s through today at FAME Studios, where Aretha Franklin recorded many of her signature works, and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio which developed work for Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and countless others. While the music from the area is often referred to as the "Muscle Shoals Sound", all four of the Quad Cities have significantly contributed to the area's impressive musical history. Each member of Showdown has been influenced greatly by the music that we have been surrounded by, coming from the shoals area. We play a wide spectrum of music, anything from "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" to "Sweet Home Alabama".Also a special mention about Harold Willis, which without him, none of what we do as a band would have never happened. Harold started it all with a show called the Hayloft Opry in Tuscumbia, Alabama many years ago. He was the person with the drive and the vision to build the foundation that Showdown stands on today.
