SUMMARY:The Fat Fridays
DESCRIPTION:The Fat Fridays are a tribute band with ADHD, paying tribute, one song at a time, to great songwriting and killer dance grooves. World-class, award-winning musicians drawing sustenance through the hyphenated roots of yacht rock: classic folk-, jazz-, country-, and soft-rock. Keeping listeners engaged and the dance floor filled with a wide variety of upscale classics from the likes of Steely Dan, Linda Ronstadt, Paul Simon, Fleetwood Mac, Patsy Cline, James Taylor, Van Morrison, Grover Washington Jr., Carole King, and Only the Good Originals(tm). Soaring three-part harmonies, world-class jazzoid soloists, and the tightest rhythm section in all the land!\nKelly Visten on vocals was a founding member of one of Skagit County’s most popular bands, Mama Dirty Skirt.
