:from Falls Festival Tassie, Port Fairy Folk Fest , the Melbourne Recital , and Melbourne Arts Centre to their monthly residency at OPEN STUDIO in Melbourne,.
Fritz love to have a great time with the crowd ,and their unique brand of rootsy ,harmonious ,rowdy ,melodious ,bluesy , humourous, swingy, funky, calypsoey, eclectic ,original music is a hit with adults and kids alike. Fritz are just as at home playing a family crowd or a late night adult venue.

The music is rootsy, swingy, jazzy, rocky, rowdy, mellow, groovy, harmonious and never EVER dumbed down. At our gigs we love to see the dance floor packed with people of all ages from grandparents swing dancing to babies jiggling. You can always hit the dance-floor ,or sit back and enjoy the four part harmonies, original tunes and great songs from a range of musical places.
ALL DAY FRITZ specialise in hunting down music not usually heard to give the audience a taste of a wide range of musical genres as well as funky original tunes and a couple of favourites people will recognise.

Quotes
All Day Fritz were the headline act for our annual High Tea Party in The Pavilion this year along with the amazing Anna Gogo. We promised the audience a fun filled day of twisting, shaking and shimmying and they were not disappointed! The musicianship of the band is outstanding and the energy and style were perfect for our families audience.

“I have programmed the totally marvellous All Day Fritz on several occasions in the cosy confines of Edinburgh Gardens Village in Fitzroy, and in the overstimulated (and hugely enjoyable) madness that is The Falls Festival and they always deliver a cracking set. Their excellent family oriented dance music rocks it every time. I can recommend them without reservation.”

With their unique blend of music, workshop, audience participation and humour they captivated the audience both young and old.

Concerts and Workshops
ALL DAY FRITZ can do concerts for adults only or family friendly crowds. We adjust the material (jokes) tot he audience but the music is never dumbed down either way.
FRITZ doesn't play down tp young audiences and respects that they enjoy good music as much as grown ups.
We also run workshops in harmony singing, Gogo dancing and percussion. We love to invite workshop participants of all ages and abilities to join us for our performances - singing, playing and dancing with the band live.
There are some snippets of our recent all-ages/all-abilities workshop (at ArtPlay in Birrarung Marr) on our workshops page. We teach the crowd simple harmony parts to some of our songs and then our "choir" are invited to sing live with us later at the gig.
