Alamantra is a rock band established in 2000 in Birmingham, Alabama. They perform an extensive, catalog of diverse, original music primarily written by Bobby Shiflett (guitar, vox). The current lineup features two of his longtime band mates: Kenny Shiflett: drums and Steve Casteel: guitar. These three have played together in local and regional bands since the mid 1990’s. In that time they have come to be defined by their organic chemistry that is displayed in their melodic, genre-bending improvisations. Their work draws from Retro, Roots, Psychedelic Progressive, Blues, Surf, and Jazz. What brings consistency to this eclectic approach is that the music is always “true to itself,” to quote one San Franciscan fan.
