If Covid had one positive result, it was to make musicians deeply aware of how precious being able to play for their audience is...certainly that’s the way the members of Little Feat have reacted. Since their return to the stage, they’ve celebrated playing with a tour of Requests, a tour reprising their masterpiece live album Waiting for Columbus, and most recently The Albums tour, which involves playing, on successive nights, first Sailin’ Shoes and then Dixie Chicken, which Warner Bros. recently re-released as CDs stuffed with bonus live material and studio extras. They may never have played better...which is why they can’t stop. Little Feat is pleased to announce the “Rollin’ Into 2024Tour,”which will close out the year 2023 with a swing through New Orleans and Texas. Little Feat features Bill Payne (keyboards, vocals), Kenny Gradney (bass), Sam Clayton (percussion and vocals), Fred Tackett (guitars and vocals), Scott Sharrard (guitars and vocals), and Tony Leone (drums).

Little Feat

The Paramount Theatre

Little Feat is the classic example of a fusion of many styles and musical genres made into something utterly distinctive.  Their brilliant  musicianship transcends boundaries, uniting California rock, funk, folk, jazz, country, rockabilly, and New Orleans swamp boogie into a rich gumbo, that has been leading people in joyful dance ever since.

It began in 1969 when Frank Zappa was smart enough to fire Lowell George from the Mothers of Invention and tell him to go start a band of his own.  Soon after, Lowell connected with Bill Payne, which stirred up sparks.  They then found drummer Richie Hayward.
