The Black Keys’ Summer Schedule

The Black Keys are spending their summer touring North American, showing U.S. and Canadian fans why they deserved to win those Grammy awards.

The blues-rock duo picked up three Grammy awards thanks to their sixth full-length album, 2010’s Brothers. The awards included best rock performance by a duo or group with vocals (for the single “Tighten Up”), best alternative music album (for Brothers), and best recording package (for Brothers).
