Alabama Shakes will roll into Cain's Ballroom for a July 14 concert with supporting acts Fly Golden Eagle and Hurray For The Riff Raff.

The rock act kicks off its North American headline tour June 18 in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets start at $26, plus fees, and go on sale 10 a.m. March 15 via the box office, by calling 1-877-4-FLYTIX or by visiting tulsaworld.com/cains or tulsaworld.com/ticketfly.

The band wraps up its spring Saturday then will head to Latin America for a series of shows, including performances at Lollapalooza in Brazil and Chile. Alabama Shakes will also play numerous summer festivals, including Firefly in Dover, Del., London's Hard Rock Calling and the Calgary Folk Music Festival.

The band's single, "Hold On," was voted the No. 1 Best Song of 2012 by Rolling Stone magazine. The accompanying video has more than 5 million views and is in "large" rotation at VH1.

Band member Britany Howard teamed up with Ruby Amanfu for a new Jack White produced single, "I Wonder," originally performed by Sixto Rodriguez, subject of the Oscar-winning "Searching For Sugar Man." The single drops Tuesday from Third Man Records.

Alabama Shakes is vocalist-guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, drummer Steve Johnson and bassist Zac Cockrell. The band is from Athens, Alabama, and was named Best Touring Band at the Pollstar Awards, Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Association's Honors and Awards ceremony and Best New Artist of the Year at the Triple A radio conference. Alabama Shakes also has been nominated for three GRAMMY awards, a BRIT and an NME Award.

Alabama Shakes also will perform as part of the Mumford & Sons sold-out Gentlemen of the Road festival stop, Sept. 7 in Guthrie.
