Little Feat perform at the Quick Center in Fairfield on Jan. 7
![Little Feat was founded by guitarist Lowell George (who died in 1979) and keyboardist Bill Payne (who remains in the band) in 1969 after George was fired from Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. (Some say he was fired because Zappa thought he needed to form his own band; Some say he was fired because his song "Willin'," which went on to become a Little Feat song, was about drugs.) With a handful of breakups and reformations with slightly different lineups, the band has persisted and will be playing at the Quick Center this Saturday, the inaugural concert by a new promotion business called M.T. Heads, run by former FTC Executive Director Miles Marek and Tyler Grill of Grill Entertainment Group. Little Feat has seen a spike in popularity since Phish covered their album <em>Waiting for Columbus </em>in its entirety at one of their fabled Halloween shows in 2010, helping a new generation of ears discover their catalogue.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-01/67132467-05114757.jpg "Little Feat was founded by guitarist Lowell George (who died in 1979) and keyboardist Bill Payne (who remains in the band) in 1969 after George was fired from Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention.

Babes in Toyland at The Quick Center in Fairfield on Dec. 18
![American Family Theater's <em>Babes in Toyland </em>begins with a cast of fairy tale characters coming to life, one by one, and telling their stories via dance in an epic opening sequence. There's Jack, Jill, Barnaby, Mary, Widow Piper and the toy soldiers, to name a few. And then they have adventures. Classic songs from Victor Herbert's 1903 original musical (some of which were also in the Laurel and Hardy film version from 1934) like "The March of the Toys," "Toyland" and "I Can't Do the Sum" are complemented by new songs by playwright and composer Don Kersey, glittering sets and special lighting effects that will hopefully keep the children engaged and entertained. Or you could go see <em>The Nutcracker </em>at every other theater in the state. Your choice.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-12/66739060-15091708.jpg "American Family Theater's <em>Babes in Toyland </em>begins with a cast of fairy tale characters coming to life, one by one, and telling their stories via dance in an epic opening sequence.
