About this Event
They were told it was impossible. Four distinct songwriters coming together to create a singular band? It seemed unprecedented (except for CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, and others). Yet, against the odds, Fantastic Cat forged ahead, defying expectations to produce their eagerly awaited debut, "The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat". Rolling Stone praised it as "a delightfully satisfying mix of folk-rock, country, Americana, and classic rock & roll," propelling the group to their first appearance on national TV, packed headline shows across the US and Europe, and performances at festivals from Sundance to Take Root. Their music even found a home in the Paramount+ series "Tulsa King".
In 2023, this unlikely quartet teamed up with acclaimed producer Butch Walker to record a 50th-anniversary rendition of Wings' "Band On The Run," garnering further acclaim from Rolling Stone, who dubbed them "the Harlem Globetrotters of Americana."
Each member of Fantastic Cat brings a wealth of experience and accolades. Don DiLego's latest album was lauded as a "remarkable achievement" by Paste. NPR likened Anthony D'Amato's songwriting and voice to the greats like Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter. Brian Dunne's recent release was hailed by Rolling Stone as "a hidden gem of the year," while Mike Montali's band, Hollis Brown, was described as "the perfect soundtrack for a midnight journey through the heartland." Together, however, these four talents transcend their individual roots, emerging as a united, velvet-draped rock and roll force greater than the sum of their parts.
