Country Music Hall of Fame group Alabama will stop at Toledo’s Huntington Center on Friday, Nov. 9, as part of its “The Hits Tour 2018.”

Alabama was founded by Randy Owen and his cousin Teddy Gentry. Cousin Jeff Cook later joined them to form country music’s most commercially successful band. It has sold more than 75 million albums since the release of “I Want to Be with You Tonight in 1977.” “Tennessee River” was the group’s first No. 1 hit, reaching the top of the charts in 1980.
