Fitz and the Tantrums with Neal Francis

Fitz and Tantrums 

Currently on their Man on the Moon Tour, Los Angeles based band, known for hit songs including The Walker, Out Of My League, HandClap, and Moneygrabber, Fitz and The Tantrums will hit the stage at the Artpark Amphitheatre this August. Performing for mass audiences on primetime television and sold-out concert venues across North America, Fitz and The Tantrums have been making their mark on the music industry since 2008. Known for combining the band members' diverse rock, alternative dance, and hip-hop influences, they create music that has a modern take on classic soul and funk, while mixing in an up-beat dance-pop sound. Man on the Moon, the band's sixth studio album is being released July 25th. As Rolling Stones puts it, their sneak peak single takes fans on a funky lunar voyage; while co-lead singer, Noelle Scaggs calls it their most daring album yet.

Neal Francis

The Chicago-based singer, songwriter, and pianist just released his latest album, Return To Zero. Ryan Dillon from Glide Magazine describes Francis' music as 'nostalgic yet refreshing approach to pop fusion.' After a very active tour schedule that found him playing nearly 400 shows from 2021 to 2024, Francis began creating a beautifully strange entangling of timeless rock & roll and ’70s-era dance music. Francis merges supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush and pulsating grooves. In keeping with his devotion to all things analog, his sound is constructed without digital programming.
