Like a hungry beast, Fat Maw Rooney has been devouring audiences for the past six years with their voracious live shows and powerful albums. Their shows are marked by intense energy, tight harmonies, and spontaneous creativity, which never fails to excite. While live energy is their trademark, songwriting is what keeps Fat Maw Rooney fans coming back for more. Effectively combining elements of blues, rock, and funk, the band continues to forge their own ‘northern rock’ sound. Old fans have come to expect Fat Maw to surprise them every time, and new listeners are left wishing they knew the words so they could sing along with the rest.
The band has shared billing with bands such as Trey Anastasio, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, the Black Crowes, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Los Lobos, and many others. They have toured with Particle and Everyone Orchestra.
Fat Maw Rooney has been called one of Minnesota's Best Jam Bands in "The Minneapolis/St.Paul Star Tribune."
FGC returns to the Majestic Theatre in Madison on Thursday April 9 to share the stage with Kyle Hollingsworth (from String Cheese Incident). Hope to see you at the show!
Was really looking forward to seeing you all tonight @ the Miramar, but alas, the impending weather will be keeping my vehicle at home, along with myself...:{
Thank you for playing the Miramar though, myself and bar crowds do not agree, so please continue booking venues like this.
