Sheffield and the Muscle Shoals Music Connection
Sheffield sits on the south bank of the Tennessee River in Colbert County, one of four cities that make up the Shoals area along with Florence, Tuscumbia, and Muscle Shoals. The population is around 9,100. The city shares the musical heritage that put the Shoals on the map: FAME Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound Studio are in the neighboring city of Muscle Shoals, but the session musicians who played there lived and worked across the entire area, Sheffield included.
Tuscumbia, immediately to the south, is where Helen Keller was born in 1880. Ivy Green, the Keller birthplace and childhood home, draws visitors year-round. Sheffield benefits from that tourism traffic, along with visitors coming for the music history. The four Shoals cities function as a single economic unit despite having separate governments and identities.
The Tennessee River and Wilson Dam, built by the Army Corps of Engineers and later turned over to TVA, shaped Sheffield's development. The dam provided cheap electricity that attracted industry in the early twentieth century. Today, the river is more of a recreational asset than an industrial one, with fishing, boating, and waterfront parks along the banks.
