Little Feat is currently on the home stretch of 2026 dates for the group’s Last Farewell Fall Tour. While the band has confirmed shows into May of 2027, the group has seven more gigs this year with the Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne, IN next up on Friday.
Meanwhile, the six-piece continues to create and share new material. Today, Little Feat has released two Christmas songs. The first of these is “Santa Claus Wants Some Lovin’." This tune originally gained renown via Albert King. LF’s Sam Clayton sings lead on the band’s version. The song is now streaming and a video appears below.
Bill Payne says of this version, “We had a blast recording this song at Sputnik Sound in Nashville. It gave us a chance to reunite with Vance Powell, for one. It was familiar territory for us, as we recorded ‘Strike Up the Band’ there. The song fits right into Little Feat’s world. Great energy from the top! Sam Clayton nails it, and the band is on fire! With gratitude to Brian Penix, our manager, for turning us on to it.”
In addition, the group has recorded an original holiday tune. Scott Sharrard and Fred Tackett wrote “Christmas in Treme.” Sharrard sings lead with special guest Maggie Rose contributing as well. This tune is also available via streaming.
In other Little Feat news, Payne’s memoir, Carnival Ghosts: A Memoir of Life, Loss and Rebirth with Little Feat will be published by Regalo Press on February 16, 2027.
Meanwhile, Little Feat: The Documentary, directed by Jesse Lauter, continues to screen at film festivals ahead of a 2027 release.
