Event Information

FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR Presents: HENRY CARPENDER QUINTETFREE SHOW! RESERVATION AVAILABLE! Henry Carpender is a trombonist, composer, and educator based in the city of Chicago. An artist who is equally informed by his classical training, love of Jazz, and childhood playing rock music (primarily with his father John Carpender), Henrys playing and writing is a charming blend of punchy, sensitive, quirky, and dripping with love for life and self expression. Henrys dedication to music making began at age 13 when he played his first gig with the much beloved local band Expo 76. Since then, through both his education and the beginning of his professional freelance career, Henry has been fortunate enough to share the stage with Dag Juhlin, Billy Harper, Robbie Fulks, Tanya Darby, Cathy Richardson, NRBQ and the Canadian Brass. Henry has also enjoyed a healthy start to a career as a private instructor and group music educator, running a small studio of dedicated middle and high schoolers across the Chicagoland area. When hes not playing or teaching, he can be found playing video games, cooking a new dish, or relaxing on Montrose beach.This show will be an opportunity to premiere new work, revisit some favorites, and share arrangements of some of Henrys favorite artists. Rufus Parenti on Tenor & Soprano Saxophone, Joey Acopiado on Guitar, Aval Zaucha on Keys, Vinny Kabat on Electric Bass, and Tommy Sagins on Drums and Cymbals.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***ALL AGES!

Event Information

FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:EILEN JEWELL at FITZGERALDS Historic Nightclub!w/ special guest Angela Perley$30 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available Hailed by American Songwriter as one of Americas most intriguing, creative, and idiosyncratic voices, Eilen Jewell rises from the ashes on her captivating new album, Get Behind The Wheel, picking up the pieces of her shattered world and finding new purpose and meaning after watching her marriage, her band, and what felt like her entire career fall apart in a series of spectacular, heartbreaking implosions. Co-produced by multi-instrumental wizard Will Kimbrough (Todd Snider, Hayes Carll), the collection pushes the acclaimed singer and songwriters trademark blend of vintage roots-noir into more psychedelic territory, with spacious, cinematic arrangements complementing her revelatory explorations of grief, loss, resilience, and redemption. An Idaho native, Jewell built her career the old fashioned way, touring relentlessly with the kind of undeniable live show that converts the uninitiated into instant acolytes. Over the course of nine albums, shes crisscrossed the globe countless times and shared bills with the likes of Lucinda Williams, Loretta Lynn, Mavis Staples, Wanda Jackson, George Jones, and Emmylou Harris. Rolling Stone lauded Jewells clever writing, while NPR declared that she has a sweet and clear voice with a killer instinct lurking beneath the shiny surface, and The Washington Post mused that if Neko Case, Madeleine Peyroux and Billie Holiday had a baby girl who grew up to front a rockabilly band, shed probably sound a lot like Eilen Jewell. Angela Perley makes music for roadtrips across the American heartland. Rooted in cosmic alt-country, roadhouse rock s a vintage sound for the modern world, glued together by a singer/songwriter whos played everything from dive bars to arenas. Perley has opened for Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Tyler Childers, CAAMP, Kaitlin Butts, Eilen Jewell, and Jaime Wyatt and performed at Stagecoach in 2023 on Nikki Lanes Horseshoe Stage.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUEOr enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open. ***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, minors admitted with guardian

Event Information

FITZGERALDS PRESENTS:BEATLES BRUNCH ft. PHIL ANGOTTI & FRIENDS$15/seat reserved tables Brunch Menu by BABYGOLD Phil Angotti is a multi-instrumentalist, singer,and sensitive tough-guy songwriter from Chicagos southside. He rocks your socks off with crazy guitar riffs, makes you cry expressing touching lyrics, and constantly surprises you with the depth of his musical knowledge! Known in Chicago as THE Beatles guy, Phil consistently draws diverse audiences to Beatle shows; first when playing with the Beatle Brothers, now with the Phil Angotti Band, Great Moments in Vinyl, the What4, and as a solo performer. Phil plays the Beatles catalog by heart and from the heart. The years of practice, listening and learning are evident, especially since he is great at taking requests! The Kinks, The Zombies, The Bee-Gees, Nick Drake and Buddy Holly all hold special places in his musical mind too. Phil is the current lead singer and guitar player for Material Issue, a Chicago power-pop band who made it big in the early 90s (they had videos on MTV when that was cool). Now known as Material ReIssue, opening for The Smithereens is one of his favorite moments on stage in fact! Other great moments in Phil include opening for Marshall Crenshaw, Richard Furay (Buffalo Springfield), and Eddie Money, plus the Beatles album shows. The *ahem* experience of this guy is key. His music came out first on vinyl, then cassette, 8-track, cds, then back to vinyl. Through all 14 solo albums Phils melodys shine, blending cool pop grooves with sweet harmonies. Hes proven a commitment to his craft and become one of Chicagos most beloved artists. ***PARKING***There is street parking within a few blocks along roosevelt rd.

Event Information

FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:Southern Culture on the Skids at FITZGERALDS Historic Nightclub $25 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available Southern Culture On The Skids has been consistently recording and touring around the world since 1983. The band (Rick Miller guitar and vocals, Mary Huff bass and vocals, Dave Hartman drums) has been playing together for over 30 years. Their musical journey has taken them from all-night North Carolina house parties to late night TV talk shows (Conan OBrien, The Tonight Show), from performing at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to rockin out for the inmates at North Carolina correctional facilities. Theyve shared a stage with many musical luminaries including Link Wray, Loretta Lynn, Hasil Adkins and Patti Smith. Their music has been featured in movies and TV, parodied by Weird Al, and used to sell everything from diamonds to pork sausage. In 2014 the band was honored by the Southern Folklife Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill with an exhibition featuring their music and cultural contributions. Their legendary live shows are a testament to the therapeutic powers of foot-stomping, butt-shaking rock and roll and what Rolling Stone dubbed a hell raising rock and roll party. At Home with Southern Culture on the Skids is the latest full length album from the band and was released in March of 2021. It was recorded during the stay at home period of the pandemic when the band was at home and not touring. The album consists of 11 tracks recorded and mixed in Rick Millers living room with some additional tracks recorded at his studio, The Kudzu Ranch. The first radio single off the album is Run Baby Runa rocking number with deep garage roots. SCOTS bassist Mary Huff provides an urgent vocal while the band pulls back the throttle on a full race fuzz festcause shes gotta to go fast! Run Baby Run! The other songs on the album are a combination of the bands unique mix of musical genres: rock and roll, surf, folk and countryall a bit off-center, what Rick proudly calls our wobbly Americana. Rick goes on, We put a few more acoustic guitars on this one, as you would expect if you recorded in your living room, but it still rocks like SCOTS. So put your headphones on, get in your favorite chair/sofa/recliner, put on At Home With and lets hang out for a while. THE GET DOWN:The Get Down is a 60s-inspired instrumental band based in Louisville, KY. With matching Fender instruments and a style rooted in surf, blues, and classic TV and film themes, The Get Down blends vintage cool with modern edge. Their sets have earned them spots alongside national acts like NRBQ, Southern Culture on the Skids, and Reverend Peytons Big Damn Band. Members of The Get Down have shared stages with legends including Wanda Jackson, Curtis Mayfields Impressions, Duke Robillard, and Louisville cult heroes Bodecoadding authenticity and experience to their unmistakable sound.
