Alabama: 43 No. 1 hits

The Fort Payne band is one of the most successful musical groups in country music history. Over 50 years, Alabama has sold 80 million albums and topped the charts with 43 No.1 hits.

The show will also feature interviews with Alabama founding members Randy Owen and Teddy Gentry.

June Jam Coming June 1

It is a busy year for the group. In late 2023, the band announced it will return to Fort Payne this summer once again to hold June Jam on June 1st. Last year’s music festival attracted 11.000 fans and raised thousands of dollars for local charities.
