Fantastic Cat with Michaela Anne
Fantastic Cat takes the stage with a set that draws on a fast-rising story, from a debut album that sparked national television exposure, sold-out headlining runs across the United States and Europe, a Sundance appearance, and a song placement in the series Tulsa King, to a follow-up that featured Adam Duritz and led to dates with Dawes and Lucius. Praised by major outlets, including Rolling Stone calling them a supergroup to watch and WFUV celebrating their place among recent New York Americana and rock standouts, the quartet pairs sharp songwriting with a spirited, anything-can-happen energy. Their third release, Cat Out Of Hell, was produced by the band and mixed by D. James Goodwin, whose credits include Goose, Kevin Morby, and The Hold Steady. The new material heightens their mix of craft and unpredictability, channeling the charge of their live show into tunes that feel like a loose house party filled with seekers, romantics, and big thinkers. Each member brings a notable track record, with appearances ranging from the New York Times and Tiny Desk to Bonnaroo and Cayamo. Accolades span NPR’s nod to Anthony D’Amato’s Springsteen and Josh Ritter lineage, Pitchfork’s praise for the urgency and poetry in Brian Dunne’s work, Paste’s high marks for Don DiLego, and Rolling Stone’s salute to Mike Montali’s band Hollis Brown as perfect for late-night drives. Together they write and sing with rich harmonies and playful charm, echoing the spirit of CSNY and the Traveling Wilburys, along with the combustible chemistry associated with the Eagles. Michaela Anne opens with songs shaped by a childhood of frequent moves as part of a military family, blending singer-songwriter, Americana, and folk elements with clear-eyed storytelling and a powerful voice. Her work leans into a more reflective kind of freedom that comes from acceptance, gratitude, and self-respect. The venue will not operate during regular business hours for this show. Ticket holders may check in and doors will open at the time listed for the event. A full bar will be available along with a focused menu featuring pizza, salads, charcuterie, and desserts before and during the performance.
