Known for their deadpan vocals and minimalist sound, CAKE rose to fame in the 1990s with hits such as “The Distance" and “Short Skirt/Long Jacket."

The Sacramento-based band formed in 1991 and gained a national following with the 1996 album "Fashion Nugget."

The band's sound blends rock, funk, country and spoken-word elements, anchored by lead singer John McCrea’s distinctive delivery.

The show is part of the 2026 concert calendar for the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater, which has drawn a mix of rock, country and pop acts to the Tuscaloosa riverfront.
