More Than One Anniversary Will Be Celebrated at Wanee Festival

#JazzBluesFlorida #jazz #blues #Florida #Concerts #Festivals #Clubs

The Allman Bros. band is not the only group that will be at Wanee Festival celebrating 40 years of music... LITTLE FEAT joins them in cutting that cake. Little Feat was formed by singer-songwriter, lead vocalist and guitarist Lowell George and keyboard player Bill Payne in 1969 in Los Angeles.

The currentl line-up is:
Bill Payne - vocals, keyboards
Paul Barrere - vocals, guitar, slide guitar
Fred Tackett - guitar, mandolin, trumpet
Kenny Gradney - bass
Richie Hayward - drums, backing vocals
Sam Clayton - congas, vocals, percussion

The band plays a mixture of blues, R&B, country, New Orleans funk, and rock and roll.

Little Feat’s latest project is "JOIN THE BAND," a most unusual sort of tribute record. On it, they serve as the stellar backing band performing several of their classic songs as sung by the likes of Dave Matthews, Emmylou Harris, and Chris Robinson.

"JOIN THE BAND," features some of their classic tunes -- "Fat Man in the Bathtub," "Dixie Chicken," "Sailing Shoes," "Oh, Atlanta,” as well as new material like Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land." This release features an all-star list of additional guest artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Bob Seger, Sonny Landreth and many others.
