Local Artist Series: Chris Fitz Band

Chris Fitz entered Boston's music world in 1994 after five years spent in San Francisco. He sharpened his blues guitar skills by touring numerous clubs throughout the Bay Area, drawing inspiration from local and national performers who played there. Then he dedicated countless hours alone in his apartment, holding a guitar and having a record player nearby, constantly practicing to emulate the great musicians he admired watching live shows. After returning to Boston, his hometown, he immediately began attending various blues jam sessions around the city with cautious confidence that he could perform well enough to join a professional band. More than twenty years later and after thousands of performances, Chris Fitz Bandled by Chris as singer, songwriter, guitarist, and bandleader, with Mike Aiello on drums and Dave Kendarian on bassis one of the most respected original blues and roots groups in all of New England.
