Little Feat Boogie Your Summer Away Tour

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. They were quickly signed to Warner Bros. and began working on the first of twelve albums with that venerable company. The first album, Little Feat, featured the instant classic tune "Willin'" and the follow-up Salin' Shoes added "Easy to Slip", "Trouble", "Tripe Face Boogie", "Cold Cold Cold" and the title track to their repertoire. Paul Barrere, Kenny Gradney (bass), and Sam Clayton (percussion)
