2024 SEMA Fest Artist Spotlight: Fitz And The Tantrums

Fitz And The Tantrums--featuring band mates Michael "Fitz" Fitzpatrick (vocals), Noelle Scaggs (vocals), James King (saxophone and flute), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards) and Joseph Karnes (bass)--has energized popular music and culture with a series of unshakable, undeniable and ubiquitous anthems and albums. Since 2008, the Los Angeles collective has magnified the scope of pop with a dash of indie, a dose of soul and a whole lot of dancefloor-ready bounce. Their catalog spans fan-favorite records such as "Pickin' up the Pieces" (2010), "More Than Just A Dream" (2013), the gold-certified "Fitz And The Tantrums" (2016) and "All the Feels" (2019). Along the way, they've impressively tallied just shy of four billion streams (and counting) powered by enduring hits such as the four-times-platinum "HandClap," the three-times-platinum "Out of My League," platinum "The Walker," and the gold record "Moneygrabber."

Described as an inescapable presence, Fitz And The Tantrum's music has notably coursed through the mainstream conversation, soundtracking films on Netflix and campaigns for CVS Wellness, SunChips, SoFi, Xfinity, Walmart, Norwegian Cruise Line, Lay's and Wells Fargo, to name a few. Beyond standout performances everywhere, from Coachella and Bonaroo to numerous late-night television shows, Fitz and the Tantrums consistently sold out some of the most iconic venues in the world, including The Forum and Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Not to mention, they've incited applause from publications such as Rolling Stone, BillboardPeople and more.

Fitz And The Tantrums' most recent album, "Let Yourself Free," arrived in 2022 with bold, bright and buoyant singles "Sway" and "Moneymaker," and last year, they released the "Perfect Holiday" EP featuring original songs to ring in the holiday season.

SEMA Fest goers will be able to witness the band's undeniable energy during an epic concert on Friday, November 8, on the SEMA Fest stage.
