This is a call! The Foo Fighters love to bring their fans on stage, especially if they’re kids! At their concert in Kansas City, Missouri this past Friday, Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl invited 10-year-old fan Collier Cash Rule to perform on stage alongside the band! After being asked which songs he knew how to play, Rule performed Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” on Grohl’s guitar while Grohl sang. Grohl was so impressed that he gave Rule his guitar to keep!
Back in May, an 8-year-old fan referred to as “Little Fonzie” came on stage with the band to play an incredible drum solo in Nashville. The only problem? He wouldn’t leave the stage! He was up there for over 5 minutes playing on drummer Taylor Hawkins’ kit. At one point, Grohl said to the crowd “He’s still going…Can I have my concert back?” He then jokingly asked where Little Fonzie’s dad was, saying, “What are we gonna do? There’s nothing we can do. We’re not in daycare right now.” Eventually, Grohl got Little Fonzie off by telling him there was some Coke to drink on the side of the stage. The crowd got some special entertainment during this show and I’m sure this is a moment Little Fonzie will never forget!
Last, but certainly not least, Grohl loves performing with his own daughters! At the Foo Fighters’ Oakland concert back in May, Grohl brought up two of his daughters, Violet, 12, and Harper, 9, to sing a few songs including the Foo Fighters’ hit “The Sky Is A Neighborhood.” Violet and Harper sang beautiful harmonies alongside their dad, who sang lead and played the song on an acoustic guitar. They all did such an incredible job and there’s no doubting the fact that the Grohl family is extremely talented!
What do you think of when you think of tribute bands? Gimmicks and costumes? When you think of cover bands, who perform the works of a variety of artists and genres, do you think of small, local college bars, and renditions of your favorite hits that come close but aren’t quite the same?

Modest Mouse packed out Terminal 5 with two back to back dates to honor the 25th anniversary of their 1997 album The Lonesome Crowded West. Though I was not familiar with the album (I was 1-year-old at the time of release and didn’t come online to Modest Mouse until the “Float On” days), there was…
The Front Bottoms have been hosting their annual Champagne Jam for nearly a decade now. The end-of-year mini-festival was held at Webster Hall for a handful of years, moving to Asbury Park’s Convention Hall when Webster closed for renovations. After an obvious break in 2020, Champagne Jam returned in 2021 in Rhode Island, and this…
