The Black Keys

The Black Keys pull you in with raw, fuzz-soaked guitar riffs and stripped-down blues rock that feels both hypnotic and urgent. Formed in Akron, Ohio, the duo—Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney—are known for their gritty, minimalist sound rooted in classic blues and garage rock. Catching them at an outdoor amphitheater cranks up the electric, bare-bones energy they're known for.
