The Happy Fits at FIVE (April 15, 2026)

Indie/rock darlings The Happy Fits will headline FIVE, in Jacksonville, Florida, in support of their new album Lovesick.

The Happy Fits at the Granada Theater, Lawrence KS (2023-10-15)

We saw Happy Fits in Oct 2023 and wrote, “Amidst some low-lit, retro-style LED lights, Pittstown NJ band The Happy Fits (started in 2016 as high school students and led by lead vocalist / cellist Calvin Langman) took to the stage, in support of their newest album, just released in late August. Unfortunately, core members Ross Monteith and Luke Davis are not present on this tour, due to mental health and other unannounced issues, but Langman has bravely decided to carry on.”
