Got Plans? Cancel ‘Em. Go See The Fritz!
I’m just sayin’, you ought to get out to see The Fritz. Those Asheville boys threw down as good a set of funk rock as I’ve ever heard last Friday at Funk Fest 8 in Punta Gorda FL. The fest was awesome, but nobody outshone The Fritz.
The Fritz are: Jamar Woods [keyboard and vocals], Jamie Hendrickson [guitar], Jake O’ Connor [bass], Michael Tillis [drums], and Mike “Mikey Spice” Evans [percussion].
Friday’s one-hour set was absolutely jammed full of funk, rock, jazz, synthesizers, great drums and percussion, incredible guitar solos, a brilliant bass performance all set, and one absolutely stunning front man leading the parade.
In other words, a typical set from The Fritz. Because this band kills it. EVERY. TIME. OUT.
DAYTONA BEACH! You’re on call tonight! Bradenton, Tampa, and Boca Raton: brace yourselves. And Key West? Fuggetaboutit.
I owe you a beer if I’m lyin’. Friday’s setlist:
