Ther e’s no dodging the wear and tear\\, and Little Feat has been playing fo r quite a while.\\nWith tongue stuck somewhat in cheek\\, Little Feat ann ounces “The Last Farewell Tour\\,” which will begin in April 2026.\\n It’s definitely not an absolute\\, never-gonna-play again statement. T his wind-down will take several years to accomplish\\, and while it does\ \, Feat will continue to perform and record as long as they are able. It s a retirement from the travel of touring.\\nLittle Feat began in 1969 when Frank Zappa told Lowell George he should start his own band. As Lowe ll happened to have a pretty small shoe size\\, the name became obvious. He found a partner/keyboard player in Bill Payne and a drummer in Richie Hayward.\\nAfter a few transitions\\, they added Kenny Gradney (bass)\\, Sam Clayton (percussion)\\, Paul Barrere (guitar) and eventually Fred Tac kett (guitar)\\, and began a now 56-year journey that has produced dozens of songs – “Dixie Chicken\\,” “Oh\\, Atlanta\\,” “Willin’\ \,” “Fat Man in the Bathtub” – and a thousand memories. One resul t was one of the best live albums in the history of rock ‘n’ roll\\, Waiting for Columbus.\\nThe road (see above!) is hard\\, and it cost them first Lowell George in 1979\\, Richie Hayward in 2010\\, and Paul Barre re in 2019. The everlasting Little Feat groove demanded playing\\, and th ey added Scott Sharrard (guitar) and Tony Leone (drums)\\, and may well b e playing at the very height of their powers\\, recently releasing a well -received album of original material\\, Strike Up the Band. Their inimita ble blend of rock\\, New Orleans swamp boogie\\, jazz\\, and blues is not only unique but an ongoing source of delight.\\nFeat has an incredible l egacy of music and the celebration that comes with it\\, and the near fut ure will see them honoring their own past with more playing.\\nBut it’s time to give the trusty tour bus\\, however comfy\\, a rest.\\nhttps://w ww.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/durham/events/little-feat-2026-09- 17 LOCATION:downtowndurham.com URL:https://www.gayout.com/usa-canada/united-states/durham/events/little-feat-2026-09-17 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
