Fantastic Cat

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “the supergroup you need to know,” Fantastic Cat emerged to  broad critical acclaim with the release of their irreverent debut, The Very Best of Fantastic  Cat, which earned the instrument-swapping, vocal-trading four-piece their first national TV  appearance, sold out headline dates around the US and Europe, a performance at the  Sundance Film Festival, and a song in the Paramount+ series Tulsa King. Two years later, they  followed it up with the similarly lauded Now That’s What I Call Fantastic Cat, which featured  an appearance from Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz, landed the band dates with  Dawes and Lucius, and prompted WFUV to declare them “one of the best Americana and rock  bands to tumble out of New York over the last few years.”  

Now, Fantastic Cat has defied the odds—and their therapists’ strong recommendations—to  return with their third and finest album yet, Cat Out Of Hell. Produced by the band and  mixed by D. James Goodwin (Goose, Kevin Morby, The Hold Steady), the collection elevates  Fantastic Cat’s trademark blend of craftsmanship and chaos to new sonic heights, capturing  the freewheeling, lightning in a bottle energy of their must-see live show and channeling it  into a ramshackle house party full of existential searchers, desperate romantics, and barstool  philosophers.  

Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume including  appearances everywhere from the New York Times and the Tiny Desk to Bonnaroo and  Cayamo. NPR said Anthony D’Amato “sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or  Josh Ritter.” Pitchfork called Brian Dunne’s new album “wise and poetic,” declaring that  “every song sounds like his life depends on it.” Paste proclaimed Don DiLego’s latest record a  “stunner,” and Rolling Stone praised Mike Montali’s band, Hollis Brown, as “the soundtrack for  a late-night drive through the American heartland.”  

Together, they form a four-headed songwriting hydra, one with the lush harmonies of CSNY,  the playful wit of The Traveling Wilburys, and the relentless interpersonal strife of the Eagles. 

Nashville based singer songwriter, Jillette Johnson, has committed her life to creative discovery. From starting her songwriting journey at the age of 8 to commuting to Brooklyn to make her first album in her teens to moving to Nashville after working with Dave Cobb on her second album, Johnson has carved a place in the musical landscape as unique as her journey. Her ability to constantly evolve and challenge her own perception of her artistry while maintaining a strong sense of self in her songwriting stands out as the seminal feature of her career. Throughout the creative shifts, she has found an audience of devoted fans, garnering over 10 million global streams, landing on countless playlists, and sharing the stage with artists like Houndmouth, Wrabel, and Penny and Sparrow.
