      @@powerpopaholic876 Sorry to disappoint, but no it is not. I was there in the audience, front row, eight feet from Sammie, close enough to hear her without the mic. She sings in tune, as do the other two ladies. They all grew up in church choirs, and two of them studied Professional Voice at Belmont U in Nashville. You don't get into private art school in a Voice major without first demonstrating you can sing in tune.

    So glad I’ve found a band who put a fresh coat of paint on my youth and does the music justice.

    They’ve never lost that personal connection and never will. As a fan I can’t help but cheer them on.
    And the fact that the video crew has always maintained that same F&F feel just adds to the experience.
    Great tunes, good folk, excellent video, music production, talent, and history.
    Well done!

    It's only over this past couple of days or so that I have discovered Foxes and Fossils, over at the 'I Can't Let Go' video on the channel. I follow a band local here in Derbyshire, UK, Godfrey's Grit 'n' Soul Band, as their 'Fifth Beatle', as they say (the resident dancer) and they occasionally put on outdoor gigs in the summer, so that 'I Can't Let Go' performance was very reminiscent of those events. This very seasonal performance of 'California Dreamin'', indoors in the depth of winter, also reminds me very much of GGnSB as the song is in their repertoire and very impressive it was, too.

    I think this is my third time commenting on this but I don’t even care😂 this is my all time favorite song and this is such a great performance. I love watching Chase move around, she’s like the Cass Elliot of the group☺️ I called out of work sick today and will most definitely be binging all y’all’s videos that I haven’t watched yet. I hope I get to see you all live someday!! Cheers from East TN

    I wish I was there to give the ovation!
    Well Done. Vocal blends like that are as rare as they get! I love that you all have stayed together to entertain and inspire the rest of us! Fan for life in Maine, - Scully 💖

    I'm from Brazil and I've been following you for five years. The first song I saw you singing was exactly that. My congratulations on the talent.
