Black Pumas

Fans of Alabama Shakes, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, and The Black Keys: meet your next favorite band. Named NPR’s Breakout Band of 2019, Black Pumas released its self-titled debut album June 21 — after teasing singles “Colors,” “Fire,” and “Black Moon Rising” earlier this year — boosting the Austin-based group from local Texas talent to national up-and-comers. Along with the album release, the band announced an extensive series of worldwide tour dates, including a Pittsburgh stop at Spirit. Check out the duo before they hit it (even) bigger.
