In 2021, Denton, TX band Fishboy unveiled Waitsgiving, a narrative album featuring ten songs centered around a fictional holiday celebrating patience.
Upon it's release, the band transformed this holiday into a real-life tradition, joining the community of Denton annually on the courthouse lawn for a FREE ALL AGES event.
This year marks the fifth Waitsgiving, which features a traveling acoustic performance, a walking tour of the album's historic inspirations, and the continuation of cherished traditions.
