Street Faire News

When Little Feat played the Faire in 2011, they invited their good friend Chris Daniels to join them. It was so much fun we’re bringing some Feat to the Faire again with the spectacular Bill Payne joining Chris on the keys. Mr. Fred Gowdy and, of course, the Kings will also be there.

Interested in some great music and a smaller crowd? Then you’re gonna love tonight.
