About Little Feat

Little Feat formed in 1969 when Lowell George left Frank Zappa's band to start something grittier. The band became a studio perfectionist outfit, crafting densely layered funk-rock that blended blues, country, and New Orleans swagger into something that didn't quite fit anywhere else. Their 1972 album Sailing Shoes introduced a sound that was unmistakably theirs: greasy, intricate, horn-driven grooves built around George's slide guitar and Paul Barrere's crisp rhythm work. Dixie-Chicken, their 1973 followup, remains a classic. George's death in 1979 scattered the band, but Little Feat reunited in 1988 and has been touring steadily since. They've always been more about the music than the myth, a working band that plays songs like they still matter, because to them they do.

Little Feat crowds are devoted without being cultish. Shows move at their own pace, unhurried, with the band treating every song like it deserves the space to breathe. People actually watch and listen instead of just standing there. The energy builds steadily rather than peaks and crashes.

Known for Dixie-Chicken, Oh Atlanta, Sailin' Shoes, Rocket in My Pocket, Fat Man in the Kitchen

Little Feat + Sacramento

Little Feat rolled into Sacramento's Crest Theatre in August 2022 and reminded everyone why they've stayed relevant for fifty years. They kicked things off with 'Join the Band,' then settled into their catalog with the kind of confidence that comes from knowing exactly what people came to hear. 'Fat Man in the Bathtub' and 'Spanish Moon' got their due, but the real moment was 'Willin''—that deceptively simple song that somehow contains everything. They closed out the night with 'Let It Roll,' a fitting end to a set that proved Little Feat's groove-based, genre-agnostic approach still cuts through.
