This year we welcome KDUR Fort Lewis College Community Radio as a new sponsor and Fired Up Pizzeria is back to offer up some tasty offerings.   Get your blankets and lawn chairs ready, invite your neighbors, pack up a picnic and join us for 7 amazing summer evenings of great tunes!   Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated debut, out this summer on Blue Rose Music. Captured in the wilds of the Pocono Mountains, the album gleefully careens between genres and decades, mixing electrified 60’s folk and 70’s AM radio gold as it balances careful craftsmanship and ecstatic abandon in equal measure.
