Little Feat<\/a> jump-started their 2026-27 Last Farewell Tour<\/a> earlier this week, with shows in Akron, Ohio, and Cincinnati. They’re also releasing two new songs<\/a> today in celebration of the upcoming holiday season. <\/p>\n

Look for more than half a dozen Little Feat concerts through the end of November. Their next run has already been confirmed from January through May 2027, with more to come. See a complete list of dates, cities and venues below, along with the cover art from the digital single and an expanded preview of 2027’s biggest music festivals and cruises. <\/p>\n

The new tracks include a Sam Clayton-led update of “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'” and an original from Fred Tackett and Scott Sharrard called “Christmas in Treme'” featuring New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Maggie Rose. For more information or tickets, head over to Little Feat’s official website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

When Does Little Feat’s 2027 Tour Begin?<\/h3>\n

Their video for “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin'” is also below. Stalwart member Bill Payne credited manager Brian Penix with suggesting this old Albert King favorite<\/a>. “The song fits right into Little Feat’s world: Great energy from the top,” Payne said in an official release. “Sam Clayton nails it, and the band is on fire.”<\/p>\n

As with Little Feat’s most recent studio project, 2025’s Strike Up the Band<\/a><\/em>, both new tracks were recorded at Nashville’s Sputnik Sound with Vance Powell. Clayton was also the featured singer on 2024’s Grammy-nominated Sam’s Place<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Even as Little Feat remains on the road, Payne is preparing an autobiography. Carnival Ghosts: A Memoir of Life, Loss and Rebirth with Little Feat<\/em> is set to offer an overview of six decades with Little Feat and beyond. “Writing a book is like writing a symphony \u2014 several of them,” Payne said. The book, which required “lots of threads over a lifetime to connect,” is due on Feb. 16, 2027. <\/p>\n

Little Feat: The Documentary<\/em>, directed by Jesse Lauter, has also been making the rounds<\/a> at film festivals. An official release date will follow in 2017.<\/p>\n
