Little Feat

Active since: 1969

The members of Little Feat emerged from the pandemic with their sense of humor, chops, and collective joy in playing intact.  Over the past three years, they’ve focused tours on their epic live album Waiting for Columbus, re-issues of their second and third albums (Sailin’ Shoes and Dixie Chicken), and now in 2024 the fourth, Feats Don’t Fail Me Now.  Audience response has been rapturous.

Now it’s time for something new. Their creativity has been renewed, and May of 2024 saw the release of the brand-new GRAMMY nominated Sam’s Place, in which Feat backs their linchpin conga player, Sam Clayton, on vocals.  Really the blues.
