COME OUT AND CELEBRATE
LITTLE FEAT AND THE ALLMAN BROTHERS WITH US!
Check Mark’s Calendar For Performance Dates!
“It was somewhere around my 13th Birthday in March of 1978, that my older brother told me we had tickets to see Little Feat at the Irvine Auditorium in Philly! Waiting for Columbus had just come out the month before and the show was on April 8, so we had about a month to get ready! We were all Feat fans, Scott, Frank, Erik, Sandy and Ira, but it was my brother who got the idea to take the album to a screen printer to have the album cover printed on white T-shirts. We looked so cool. We had great seats and it was a fantastic show. Now, here we are 40 years later and i get to PERFORM this classic album from front to back with some of the best musicians in Southern California!” – Mark Bentley, vocals & keys
