MUSIC FOR HUMANS OF ALL AGES
Melbourne musical legends All Day Fritz have been bringing their much-loved shows to festivals and venues-huge and tiny-for over a decade. We specialise in truly intergenerational, interactive, joy-filled music performances that bring audiences of all ages together, getting the whole crowd singing and dancing. Our shows are inclusive, vibrant, and irresistibly dance-inducing-a perfect combination of family-friendly programming, ageless material, and exceptional musicianship. Our sound spans roots, folk, swing, jazz, rock ’n’ roll, ska, and blues—rowdy, mellow, groovy, harmonious, and never EVER dumbed down. We love seeing grandparents tango next to babies and toddlers jiggling, teens dancing with parents, and whole communities singing together and sharing a dance floor. All Day Fritz are infinitely scalable: from a tight, dynamic trio to our full big-band extravaganza, The Bring It Home Show. We thrive on interaction, laughter, and crowd connection. Our repertoire blends eclectic gems from the 1920s–60s with original material, plus a few favourites you’ll definitely recognise (think Ray Charles’ “Shake Your Tailfeather”), guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor. Sing, dance, whistle, heckle laugh, or jump up to play the famous pigophone with us. Interactive. Inclusive. All Day Fritz bring a brilliant mix of incredible musicianship and pure fun. We deliver shows that are lively, uplifting, and truly "on for young and old." UPCOMING SHOWS

Concerts and WorkshopsALL DAY FRITZ
FRITZ doesn't play down to 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. 
REVIEWS FROM VENUES
“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.”
Ian Pidd, Artistic Director, The Village With their unique blend of music, workshop, audience participation and humour they captivated the audience both young and old.
