Please see the official press release below:
Chris Fitz personifies the powerful front man who sings, plays incendiary lead and rhythm guitar while giving the audience a breath taking performance. Dynamic highs and lows express his colorful original material on this new live, all original CD, LIVE AT DODGE STREET. Fitz's original material is fleshed out, embellished with frequent bandmate, Ken Clark, an explosive and rhythmic Hammond B-3 artist. Their collaboration is so natural. The two "have no brakes" their approach to this music is infused with natural spark.
Fitz has grown up in the Blues tradition. He has a sensibility that Blues lovers can relate to. His songs are tales of a musician who has lived the Blues on the road for many years, working 7 days a week, gaining dedicated fans in audiences from all over New England to Europe and from Memphis to California.
The listener is at once lifted up by his ethereal Blues and then pitched back down into the rocky road of reality, all the while thrilling to the virtuosity of this masterful guitar player. Fitz's talent spans the collection of Blues styles. He can offer a sweet Delta style finger picking tune then break into a strong, muscular sound. The next moment his sound is quite tender and haunting and he can swing with the best of them! He is a consummate entertainer. Well deserving a of a wider audience - Diana Shonk- Publisher, The Blues Audience newsletter, 2/22/2010.

CHRIS FITZ BAND HOME FROM MEMPHIS!
As winners of the 2005 Boston Blues Challenge, the Chris Fitz Band was truly honored to represent the Boston Blues Society and most importantly all the great fans around Boston and New England at the recent 2006 International Blues Challenge in Memphis Tenessee. Although we did not come home with the trophy, we are proud to have been invited to participate along with 130 acts from all over the world. Considering the thousands of bands world wide, to be among the 130 chosen to come to Memphis was the real trophy! Along with meeting all kinds of great musicians, playing two phenomonal shows, eating pounds of delicious barbecue, and going to Graceland, the most rewarding part of the Memphis experience was the amazing amount of support from all our great fans, friends and family. We express our heartfelt thanks to all the travelers who made the trip to Memphis and rooted us on with all their might! Also, our appreciation goes out to all those who couldn't be there in person but were with us in spirit, and also to everyone who was so kind to help with donations to make the trip possible. All of your amazing support not just for this trip but through all these years has made the journey of the Chris Fitz Band an incredibly rewarding one, and our appreciation cannot be overstated, thank you!!!

HOLLYWOOD FILM MAKERS
-THE FARRELLY BROTHERS-
HIRE THE CHRIS FITZ BAND!
On April 6th, 2005, Bobby and Peter Farrelly hired the Chris Fitz Band to perform at the Premier VIP party for their new movie FEVER PITCH starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon. The Farrelly Brothers are known for such movies as "Something About Mary," "Dumb and Dumber," and "Me, Myself, and Irene." The party was a star-studded affair and was held at Avalon in Boston following festivities at Fenway Park and the premier screening of the movie. The party was catered by some of Boston's top restaurants and was attended by Hollywood stars as well as members of our own Red Sox and Patriots. The Chris Fitz Band would like to thank the Farrelly Brothers for the honor of performing at this special event.
THE 2004 BLEWZZY AWARD
Residents of the City of Boston are going to be real happy with this year's winner. It's going to give their city a Triple Crown so to speak. Not only did their Red Sox win them a World Series (and I still cringe as I think of that), and not only did their Patriots win them a Super Bowl, but their premier blues band - THE CHRIS FITZ BAND - just won them the 2004 BLEWZZY.
Congratulations to the CHRIS FITZ band for the outstanding CD "THIS IS MY CHURCH". It was the best CD that I reviewed this year and you are the deserving winner of this years

EUROPEAN TOUR A SMASHING SUCCESS!
We have recently completed our first European Tour. We played 12 shows throughout Belgium and Holland in venues that included the countries' top blues and music clubs, small theaters, and even a maximum security state prison in Antwerpen. To say it was a success would be a huge understatement. Not only did we have a blast, but we played to packed houses, made some great friends, drank gallons of great beer, sold lots of CDs, and came home with tons of new European fans. The booking agency, Surfing Airlines out of Belgium, was so pleased with the tour that we are already planning a 2005 tour that would expand into Germany, Sweden and England. Our thanks to all the great people of Belgium and Holland for making our first tour so successful. We can't wait to see you again.
The Chris Fitz Band MP3 page has finally been corrected. We will be uploading addititional songs. For now you can listen to cuts from Journey of Hope and This Is My Church. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for your patience!
