RONNIE BAKER BROOKS "Blues In My DNA" Album Release Party! 

$25 General Admission / $35/seat Reserved Tables Available

In Ronnie Baker Brooks’ powerhouse hands, blues-rock never sounded so outrageous. Soul never sounded so delicious. And the blues never sounded so profound…one of today’s top live performers."
—Blues Music Magazine

"Ronnie Baker Brooks bristles with energy, inspiration and self-confidence."
–Living Blues
On Friday, October 11, 2024, Alligator Records will release Blues In My DNA, the jaw-dropping new album from award-winning blues rock guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Ronnie Baker Brooks. With Blues In My DNA, Ronnie delivers an up-to-the-minute, organic masterpiece. The album, the fifth of his career and first for Alligator, is firmly rooted in the blues with Ronnie incorporating his own brand of rock, funk and soul to the mix. “I just play what I feel,” he says. “It’s all from the heart.” 

Blues In My DNA effortlessly moves from funkified rockers to deep Memphis soul to epic, crowd-pleasing, guitar-driven workouts. Produced by famed studio wizard Jim Gaines (who has produced Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lonnie Brooks, Luther Allison and many others), Blues In My DNA is a career-defining statement from Baker Brooks, with each of the 11 original songs its own chapter in his ever-evolving story.

THE HEAVY SOUNDS seen HERE

FREE SHOW! Click “Book Now” TO RSVP!

Steeped in the Soul Jazz and Funk traditions of Grant Green, Jimmy Smith, Earl Van Dyke, and Booker T & The MG’s; The Heavy Sounds testament to instrumental soul music from the 60’s and early 70’s has quite literally created a band that can say everything while saying nothing.

The Heavy Sounds are Ryan Juravic (drums), John W Lauler (bass), John Wills (Guitar), Alexander Kerwin (Alto Sax) and Pete Benson (Organ). What’s amazing about these cats is that their level of expertise in the instrumental setting is equaled and heightened by their work backing up legendary soul shouters from all over Chicago. This band has had the honor of backing up singers like Otis Clay, Syl Johnson, Renaldo Domino, Gina Bloom, Michael Avery, JC Brooks and others. Their extensive work as session musicians and backing bands has morphed this soul outfit into Chicago’s modern equivalent to the Funk Brothers.

THE CHICAGO SKYLINERS BIG BAND

FREE SHOW! CLICK "Book Now" For Table Reservations

FULL SERVICE DINING BY BABYGOLD BARBECUE AVAILABLE IN THE CLUB
 

The Chicago Skyliners Big Band was formed in 1988 for the sole purpose of prolonging the musical memory of the Big Band Era.

Members of the band in the early days were informed that this was not a major money making proposition, only a mission to keep Big Bands alive.

A house band at FitzGeralds Night Club in Berwyn since 1991, The Chicago Skyliners Big Band following has grown to become one of the top Big Bands in Chicagoland.

Blue Birdland Jazz recording artists, besides original material, the Band features the music of Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Sammy Nestico, Stan Kenton, and Maynard Ferguson to name a few.

Not your father’s big band music, the Chicago Skyliners feature contemporary arrangements of traditional big band hits. The Chicago Tribune stated, “This group consistently found the ideal tempo, style and phrasing for the scores they played.” Jazziz Magazine said, “The band has a surplus of exceptional soloists coupled with high powered ensemble playing.” Enjoy the big band swing sounds, America’s greatest contribution to world music history.

What is a tintype? One of the earliest photographic methods, dating back to the 1850s, a tintype is a direct positive image, exposed through a wet chemical process directly onto a thin piece of metal.

The large format camera and antique lens provides a romantic effect, while the characteristics of the chemical process add artifacts and uniqueness. The finished product is a tangible metal plate with the image composed of the contrast between the black metal, and the highlights made of pure metallic silver.

FAQs

1. Can my significant other/friend/kids/pets be in the portrait? Of course, though I’m limiting to two subjects per photo due to lighting limitations.  Some other things to keep in mind, oftentimes younger children and pets show up blurry due to the very thin focus (depth of field). The flash may also scare pets or young children.  
2. How long are the sessions? It takes a total of 20-30 mins from start to finish. The wetplate process is a lot slower than what we are used to with digital, but the results are well worth the time and care. 
3. Can I get my tintype retaken? We’ll take our time because we only get one take. I can only retake the photo if there is something wrong with the exposure or the chemistry. 
4. Do I get to keep my tintype the day of the session? No, but I will be developing on site (it’s a cool process, you can watch!) so you’ll get to see it right away. Then I’ll take it with me to the studio, scan and varnish it. You can expect a digital file within 1-3 days of your session and the physical plate within 10-15 days of your session.
5. What should I wear? It’s important to be comfortable and to wear something that you feel represents who you are, but there are certain colors that develop best in portraits. Avoid wearing all white or all black- in between tones are best. Textures look great! For those wondering about makeup, avoid purples and bright pink or fuchsia lipsticks – unfortunately, these show up white. True reds show up as black.  Glasses don’t typically translate correctly. Most times, there’s a lot of glare or they look like sunglasses. You are welcome to wear your glasses but I can’t retake if you don’t like how they turn out. Alternatively, you can pop the lenses out. 
6. Can I dress up? Absolutely, I do have to work quickly to keep on schedule, so please be ready to go at your appointed time.
7. Am I standing still for a long time? Kind of, Most shots only require you to hold perfectly steady for 2-6 seconds. It will be important to stay as still as possible during that time to ensure that your photos don’t develop blurry. I’ll use a flash but I’ll still need you to hold as steady as possible to ensure a crisp photo. 
8. Can I smile? Yes, I find that a relaxed smile with no teeth is really nice. 
9. What part of me is in the photo? Waist up, or just head and shoulders.  This has to do with the lighting I can bring.

 With 25 years of Califone in his catalog (not to mention a variety of other projects, including alt rock heroes Red Red Meat), the Chicago-born, Los Angeles-based knows well how to find that moment of awe and bliss even as things are falling apart.

BIG SANDY & His Fly-Rite Boys Return to FITZGERALDS Nightclub

$20 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available

  Since forming in 1988 in Southern California, Big Sandy and His Fly Rite Boys have become one of the worlds most beloved Americana/Roots acts, drawing from the deep musical waters that flow just beneath the surface of Rock & Rolls fertile soil. A childhood passion for Country, Doo Wop, and Rhythm & Blues 45s led Sandy (born Robert Williams) to pursue a singing career as a teenager, beginning a life in music that continues decades later. And as his personal record collection continues to grow (75,000 and counting), so does the depth of the musical influences that stream through his songwriting and singing style. A critically acclaimed tribute to Tex Mex hero Freddy Fender, released at the beginning of the 2020 lockdown, points the way forward for Big Sandy and his Fly Rite Boys as they continue on a path of musical growth. After nearly 35 years on the road, and more than two dozen releases to their credit, they remain key figures on the ever changing Americana circuit, both on record and in live appearances.

WILLIAM ELLIOTT WHITMORE (seen HERE) Returns to FITZGERALDS Nightclub w/ special guest David Huckfelt 

$29 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available 

  Born and raised on a small farm in Lee County Iowa, a love of the land has always been an important part of William Elliott Whitmore’s life. An appreciation for nature and its cycles being taught from an early age. That awareness of birth and death is a constant theme in the songwriting, through a lens of hopefulness and acceptance. These things unify us as people, a theme that is often explored in the music. With a banjo, guitar and kick drum, Whitmore seeks to convey these ideas. For over twenty years he has traveled the world, performing everywhere from Rome, Italy to Rome, Georgia. He’s played basements, backyards, festival stages, and Carnegie Hall, and has no plans to stop anytime soon. “Life is hard, nasty, and unforgiving at times”, Whitmore says, “but it’s beautiful too, and music can be a reminder of what we all have in common, a desire to keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
