SkyDog - The Shoals Experience

SkyDog Shoals is a one-of-a-kind music, food, and cultural experience set in the heart of The Shoals, Alabama, celebrating the legacy, spirit, and future of Southern music.

Inspired by the nickname given to Duane Allman during his time recording in The Shoals, SkyDog Shoals is more than a festival. It’s a gathering built on the roots of a sound that changed the world.
