The Black Keys

Dan Auerbach and Pat Carney grew up round the corner from each other in Akron, Ohio.

“If it hadn’t been for music, we probably wouldn’t be friends,” Auerbach said. They started the band in 2001, just the two of them, made their first album in Pat’s basement and toured for years in Pat’s van with no crew. Brothers, cut in Muscle Shoals in ten days, won three Grammys in 2011, one for its sleeve, by Pat’s brother Michael.
