Fantastic Cat with Michaela Anne

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the supergroup you need to know,” Fantastic Cat emerged to broad critical acclaim with the release of their irreverent debut, The Very Best of Fantastic Cat, which earned the instrument-swapping, vocal-trading four-piece their first national TV appearance, sold out headline dates around the US and Europe, a performance at the Sundance Film Festival, and a song in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. Two years later, they followed it up with the similarly lauded Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat, which featured an appearance from Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, landed the band dates with Dawes and Lucius, and prompted WFUV to declare them “one of the best Americana and rock bands to tumble out of New York over the last few years.” Now, Fantastic Cat has defied the odds—and their therapists’ strong recommendations—to return with their third and finest album yet, Cat Out Of Hell. Produced by the band and mixed by D. James Goodwin (Goose, Kevin Morby, The Hold Steady), the collection elevates Fantastic Cat’s trademark blend of craftsmanship and chaos to new sonic heights, capturing the freewheeling, lightning in a bottle energy of their must-see live show and channeling it into a ramshackle house party full of existential searchers, desperate romantics, and barstool philosophers. Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume including appearances everywhere from the New York Times and the Tiny Desk to Bonnaroo and Cayamo. NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter.” Pitchfork called Brian Dunne’s new album “wise and poetic,” declaring that “every song sounds like his life depends on it.” Paste proclaimed Don DiLego’s latest record a “stunner,” and Rolling Stone praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland.” Together, they form a four-headed songwriting hydra, one with the lush harmonies of CSNY, the playful wit of The Traveling Wilburys, and the relentless interpersonal strife of the Eagles. Michaela Anne Opens:   Michaela Anne’s music resembles the diversity of her upbringing and evokes the ever-changing landscape of life she witnessed first hand as a traveling child of the military. Her songs weave stories of the hardships and pleasures in life – blending singer-songwriter, americana and folk with heartfelt lyrics and a powerful vocal delivery. The freedom Michaela sings of isn’t the wild freedom of youth or rebellion, but rather the spiritual freedom that comes from learning to accept what is rather than what ought to be, from learning to appreciate what you have rather than what you want, from learning to look in the mirror and love the person staring back.
