Rock Resurgence: Tedeschi Trucks Band and Little Feat Tour 2025

Playing is the joy and satisfaction of touring, but it comes with the hard part -- travel, the endless miles on a bus. There’s no dodging the wear and tear, and Little Feat has been playing for quite a while.

Little Feat: The Last Farewell Tour

Palisades Court

Playing is the joy and satisfaction of touring, but it comes with the hard part — travel, the endless miles on a bus. There’s no dodging the wear and tear, and Little Feat has been playing for quite a while. With tongue stuck somewhat in cheek, Little Feat announces “The Last Farewell Tour,” which will begin in April 2026. It’s definitely not an absolute, never-gonna-play-again statement. This wind-down will take several years to accomplish, and during this time, Feat will continue to perform and record as long as they are able. It’s a retirement from touring.

Little Feat began in 1969 when Frank Zappa told Lowell George he should start his own band. As Lowell happened to have a pretty small shoe size, the name became obvious. He found a partner/keyboard player in Bill Payne and a drummer in Richie Hayward. After a few transitions, they added Kenny Gradney (bass), Sam Clayton (percussion), Paul Barrere (guitar) and eventually Fred Tackett (guitar), and began a now 56-year journey that has produced dozens of songs – “Dixie Chicken,” “Oh, Atlanta,” “Willin’,” “Fat Man in the Bathtub” – and a thousand memories. One result was one of the best live albums in the history of rock ‘n’ roll, Waiting for Columbus.

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).
