Singer Brittany Howard's soulful crooning will soon be showcased in a band other than Alabama Shakes. The lead singer and guitarist of the Grammy-winning bluesy rock band recently dropped a "new band alert" on social media, foreshadowing the upcoming debut of her band Bermuda Triangle.

The three-person group will also feature singer-songwriters Jesse Lefser and Becca Mancari, whom NPR noted are "building legends of their own throughout the mid-South." The trio will make its debut on July 12 at Nashville's Basement East with a set that will include previously unreleased music from all three band members.

Mancari described the music as what "I used to play before I even came to Nashville, when people just played for fun." She said to expect "drum machines, heavy harmonies, and someone on a standup bass."

The band hasn't yet made plans to record. "We are excited to perform this live and see where it takes us from there," Mancari said.
