FATF 2024: PHABIES

Events
JUNE 28: PHABIES

Created by multi-disciplinary artist Laura Hobson, Phabies is a universe within her imagination. Their lyric-focused music is a blend of 60’s-era folk and genre-blending pop, alternative, and indie. “Phabies has carved out a unique, artistic and entertaining niche in West Michigan, releasing EPs and singles over the past few years, with their full-length debut album, ‘Fire Seed’” released in 2022 (John Sinkevics, Local Spins). Laura’s voice, “both lyrical and literal, is the shining star of Phabies’ sky of sounds, celestial yet terrestrial, rising from the earth and the core of her being so beautifully” (Eric Mitts, Revue Mag). Their album “Fire Seed” was awarded Critics Choice Album of the Year at the 2023 WYCE Jammies. See you June 28th at the Brooks Memorial Fountain for a live performance from Phabies! #FridaysAtTheFountain

The second show in our #FridaysAtTheFountain concert series features the Phabies, who won Video of the Year, Best Cinematography, and Best Alternative Video at the 2024 Michigan Music Video Awards, held at Marshall’s Franke Center for the Arts. Catch the band performing live next Friday, June 28th from 7 – 9pm! You can also check out the “Pink Christmas Tree” MV:

Next at FATF: Norman Light (& Friends)!

Events

Welcoming back a Fridays at the Fountain favorite: Norman Light (& Friends)! Bring the whole family and head to Brooks Memorial Fountain for a live performance – July 15 at 7pm EST. Please bring your own chair or blanket.

Norman Light is a Marshall local that has performed at FATF previously with Chameleon and Rae of Light, but this will be a new vibe! With Norman Light & Friends the only thing guaranteed is that there’ll be a night of good music, with fantastic musicians. “Which” musicians is the question! Maybe a singer-friend will show up? Maybe a harmonica player will step-in? Maybe a keyboard player will play that solo you always loved? Playing songs that everyone knows from a wide range of genres, every show brings a different line-up that makes each show unique and memorable.
