ARTS FISHING CLUB
Arts Fishing Club is more than just a band; they are storytellers, explorers of the human condition, and purveyors of living life boldly. An ethos demonstrated by frontman Christopher Kessenich’s first 4.5 month tour in which he walked 1600 miles along the east coast from Maine to Atlanta to Nashville, played 60 shows, and slept at strangers’ homes.
The boldness that compelled such an adventure is felt in AFC’s electrifying live shows where the band weaves the raw energy of rock and the introspective lyrical honesty of folk to create a sound that is timeless and refreshingly original.
In 2023, AFC released their debut album Rothko Sky and completed a national headline tour. Whether performing in sold out small clubs or on festival stages (Bonnaroo, Mile of Music), their engaging stage presence and ability to connect with fans makes their live performances a cornerstone of their success.
Arts Fishing Club is always writing and their favorite record to date —Pocket Full of Mumbles— is due in early 2024.
With a growing fanbase, commitment to pushing their creative boundaries, and an infectiously entertaining live show, Arts Fishing Club is poised to make a lasting impact on the indie music landscape.
“Arts Fishing Club is proving that even in the age of hi-fi future pop and viral TikTok moments, the chemistry of a good band is still one of the greatest thrills out there…” -American Songwriter
