The Black Keys

In this episode of Influenced, we dive into the career of the incredible Black Keys. From Akron Ohio, the band grew out of a shared love of 1920's delta Blues and self-recording between members Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach.  The band was signed to a record label before they even played either first show after recording in Carney's basement. After a slow rise across the decade of the 2000s, the Black Keys have become one of the biggest rock bands around today as they continue to tour and sell out Arenas. Drawing inspiration from as varied influences as the Eagles and Beastie Boys, the Black Keys have continued to evolve their sound and keep their albums interesting (with a few Grammys to boot!) In this episode we dive into the career of these incredible musicians and what led Dan Auerbach into the studio to produce with some of the industries biggest names like Lana Del Rey.
