The Amy Winehouse Band presale codes

The Amy Winehouse Band now tours to honor Back to Black, carried by the players who helped Amy Winehouse shape its sound.

Grief, craft, and groove

Her absence is the show’s starting point, so the focus sits on memory, songcraft, and guest voices rather than mimicry.

Songs that still bite

Expect a set built around the album, with likely anchors like Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back to Black, and a finale of Valerie. Crowds skew mixed in age, with early fans standing next to newer listeners who arrived through streaming and fresh vinyl pressings. The vibe is careful during ballads, then loose and bright when the rhythm section hits that snap-and-sway Motown bounce. One little note: much of the horn language started in compact studio charts, often tracked to tape, which is why stabs feel dry and punchy. Another quiet detail is how the original backing singers built call-and-response parts that now guide guest leads into the groove. Note that any setlist and production details mentioned here are informed guesses based on recent shows and could shift by the night.

The Amy Winehouse Band Scene: Sharp Threads, Soft Hearts

You will see neat suits, mod dresses, and winged eyeliner beside band tees and boots, a nod to London and Camden roots.

Retro cues without costume

Fans often sing the horn lines as much as the hooks, especially on Rehab and Valerie, which turns choruses into tight, tuneful chants.

Shared memory in real time

Between songs the room goes quiet and respectful, then the floor loosens when the two-step grooves land. Merch leans toward clean designs with song titles and the band name rather than flashy portraits. Older listeners trade early-show memories, while newer fans talk about needle drops and how the record reframed soul for them. After the closer there is usually a soft cheer for Amy Winehouse, more like thanks than frenzy, and the band answers with a small nod.

The Amy Winehouse Band, Up Close: How The Sound Breathes

The current vocalists reach for the feel of Amy Winehouse rather than a copy, using crisp consonants and that off-the-beat lilt.

Groove first, then gloss

Arrangements stay close to the records, but the band will stretch turnarounds so the horns can comment, and the drummer sometimes nudges the tempo down on Back to Black to let the lyric breathe.

Little choices, big feel

Guitars lean on clean, small-amp grit, bass stays warm and short, and keys color the edges with dry organ instead of glossy pads. A subtle trick they use live is dropping a half-step on select songs to fit the singer, which darkens the tone and makes the snare crack feel deeper. Listen for the backing singers to shape the swing in Tears Dry on Their Own, riding tight unison lines that flip into quick harmony at the tag. Lights keep to moody blues and whites so ears stay on the pocket and the storytelling.

Kindred Spirits for The Amy Winehouse Band Faithful

Fans of Joss Stone often click with this show because her retro-soul phrasing and band-first sets share the same roots.

Soul cousins on the road

Leon Bridges brings classic songwriting and mellow swing, which overlaps with the tender corners of these arrangements.

Where taste and texture meet

If you enjoy the tight, harmony-rich pop-soul of Lake Street Dive, you will like how this rhythm section keeps things buoyant without rushing. Paloma Faith lives in a theatrical soul-pop lane, and her crowd tends to savor big choruses carried by live horns. All four acts favor strong melodies, warm analog textures, and singers who ride the pocket rather than forcing volume.
