🎶 Fountains of Wayne Is Back! A Celebration of Their First Concert in 12 Years 🎉

Hey there, music lovers! 🎸 If you haven't heard the news yet, you might want to sit down because Fountains of Wayne has officially reunited and performed their first full concert in 12 years! That's right, the New Jersey power pop band graced the stage once again, and it was a night to remember! 🌟

🎤 A Bit of Backstory

The last time they performed a full show was way back in 2012. Sadly, their journey took a hit with the passing of founding member Adam Schlesinger in 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. The band—now comprising of singer Chris Collingwood, guitarist Jody Porter, and drummer Brian Young—decided that this reunion was not just a comeback but a tribute to their beloved bandmate.

🎉 Concert Highlights

The much-anticipated event took place at Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton, Florida, and let me tell you, fans were in for a treat! The 15-song setlist featured some absolute classics from their first three albums, including the iconic track "Stacy's Mom." 🎵 Other memorable tunes included "Radiation Vibe," "Sink to the Bottom," and "Hackensack." The crowd was electrified, and it felt like no time had passed at all!

🌍 What's Next for Fountains of Wayne?

In addition to their Boca Raton show, they have an exciting lineup ahead. They’ll be performing at Milwaukee's Summerfest in July and Ocean City, Maryland’s Oceans Calling Festival on September 26. 🎪 It looks like this is just the beginning of a fantastic comeback tour!

💖 A Tribute to Adam Schlesinger

Chris Collingwood beautifully articulated the impact of Schlesinger’s contributions to the band’s music: “Adam’s greatest skill was distilling a genre to its essence and recreating it flawlessly.” He recognized Schlesinger not just as a bandmate, but as a musical genius whose talent will always shine brightly in Fountains of Wayne’s legacy. 🕊️

To everyone who was there and those who are eager to catch them live again, this reunion goes beyond just a concert; it’s a celebration of friendship, creativity, and the joy that music brings to our lives! Who else is excited to follow Fountains of Wayne on this nostalgic journey? 🎸✨
