About The Black Keys
The Black Keys are a rock band from Akron, OH. The group is made up of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. The duo began as an independent act, recording music in basements and self-producing their records. The band's raw blues rock sound draws heavily from Auerbach's blues influences. Friends since childhood, Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of college. The Black Keys built an underground fanbase through extensive touring of small clubs, frequent album releases and music festival appearances, and substantial licensing of their songs. The group's commercial breakthrough came in 2010 with Brothers, which along with its popular single "Tighten Up", won three Grammy Awards.
