Fitz & The Tantrums - Chateau Ste. Michelle - 8/21/22

Completely selling out the legendary Chateau Ste. Michelle on the outskirts of Seattle on a Sunday night is no small feat, but that's exactly what LA-based Fitz & The Tantrums (with fantastic support from fellow LA-native Andy Grammer) managed to do. As we all continue our gradual emergence from covid, it's hard to overstate the power that comes with being in community, even if that community for the night is a sea of strangers, while energetic and upbeat music fills the air. Make no mistake: Fitz and the Tantrums provide the perfect soundtrack to dance the night away and feel rejuvenated, refreshed, and just optimistic about what comes next. 

As they put the finshing touches on their 5th studio album, Fitz and the Tantrums somehow found time to tour the country, serving up music that's inspiring without being saccharine, positive without being preachy. With killer vocals from Noelle Scaggs and Michael (Fitz) Fitzpatrick and a backing band that could slot right in filling a stadium at the Super Bowl Halftime Show or on the streets of New Orleans, they just sound good. Their music is a balm for the soul, something which we could all use in these increasingly divided and disparate times. 

See them on tour. Dance the night away. Make friends and memories. You'll be happy you did.
