Brian\u00a0Fitzy<\/p><\/div>\n

This is spring 2020 and, because of the \u201cshelter in place\u201d order caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, you can\u2019t go to concerts, theater shows or other entertainment.<\/p>\n

But they can come to you.<\/p>\n

There are hundreds of live streaming shows, online concerts and podcasts every week.<\/p>\n

One of the best is coming up this weekend \u2013 and one of the featured artists is a Chester County musician.<\/p>\n

\u201cLove From Philly\u201d is a three-day virtual music festival which is running May 1-3 to raise money via donation for the Philadelphia Arts and entertainment community that has been impacted By COVID-19.<\/p>\n

On April 28, \u201cLove From Philly announced its daily line-ups. Each day the webcast will present a different stage reflecting the diversity of Philadelphia’s music scene featuring artists such as Christian McBride,\u00a0Kevin Eubanks,\u00a0Eric Bazilian\u00a0(The Hooters),\u00a0Kurt Vile,\u00a0G. Love,\u00a0John Oates,\u00a0Man Man,\u00a0 Marc Brownstein\u00a0(Disco Biscuits),\u00a0Schoolly D,\u00a0Eric Slick\u00a0(Dr. Dog),\u00a0Ursula Rucker and Low Cut Connie. The lineup also includes Coatesville\u2019s veteran singer-songwriter-producer Brian Fitzy.<\/p>\n

Brian\u00a0Fitzy, a.k.a. Brian Fitzgerald, graduated from Coatesville Area Senior High and then attended West Chester University.\u00a0Fitzy\u00a0graduated from WCU in 2007 with a musical performance\/classical violin degree. When he was a student at West Chester, he had a band called Leaving Cash.<\/p>\n

Now, Fitzy is focusing on internet performances with his own \u201cQuarantour Fridays\u201d and this weekend\u2019s \u201cLove From Philly\u201d festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be playing Friday evening,\u201d said Fitzy, during a phone interview Wednesday evening from his South Coatesville home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re having a soundcheck tomorrow morning and they\u2019ll probably announce the set times then. I expect to be performing sometime between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. I\u2019ll be playing at home but right now don\u2019t know how long my set will be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playing live music over the internet on Friday evenings is nothing new for Fitzy. Ever since mid-March, he has been performing live every Friday night and posting it online — streaming on\u00a0youtube.com\/brianfitzrock<\/a>\u00a0at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was supposed to do a show on March 14 in the city (Philadelphia at The Gathering Place),\u201d said Fitzy. \u201cBut I wasn\u2019t comfortable with people getting so close together in one space. So, I cancelled the show and then played a live set online.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a March 12 post on his Facebook page, Fitzy wrote, \u201cHey everyone! In light of the number of performances that have been cancelled, I’m thinking about doing a live stream concert here on Saturday evening (EST\/UTC-5:00) if enough people are interested. I’ll do some of my songs, some covers, and maybe take a few requests.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was the start. Since then, Fitzy has brought his music to his fans every Friday \u2013 and the event has gotten better and better as the weeks have gone on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing my Friday night show for seven weeks and the audience is growing every week,\u201d said Fitzy. \u201cI ironed out the production and technical parts. Now, it\u2019s full HD with a dedicated audio feed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do a lot of video production for other people, so I have a lot of video gear in my studio. It is a three-hour show each week. I play requests I get at the moment. The set list is a mix of my music along with different arrangements of other people\u2019s songs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With Fitzy\u2019s background in bring his music to the people during the COVID-19 pandemic, he was a natural fit for the \u201cLove From Philly\u201d festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really happy to be involved with this project,\u201d said Fitzy, who learned of it about a week ago.<\/p>\n

\u201cLarry Estrella, a producer from the city I\u2019ve done string arrangements for, told me about a press release he got from \u2018Love From Philly.\u2019 I got in touch with the producers. I offered my talents and they welcomed me.\u201d<\/p>\n

On May 1, Fitzy will be doing double duty with performances for both \u201cLove From Philly\u201d and his own \u201cQuarantour Fridays\u201d series.<\/p>\n

His latest Facebook post states \u2013 \u201cJoin me at http:\/\/youtube.com\/brianfitzrock<\/a> or http:\/\/facebook.com\/brianfitzy215<\/a> for my Friday live stream at 8pm EDT\/UTC-4:00. Requests welcome! Direct (shareable) links will go live day-of each week. Digital tip jar: Venmo @BrianFitzgeraldViolin\u2026\u2026http:\/\/www.PayPal.me\/BrianFitzgeraldMusic<\/a>\u2026www.brianfitzy.com<\/a>\u2026IG\/TW: @BrianFitzy215.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzy has worked with bands such as Rusted Root and members of the Roots Crew and released more than a dozen records as a solo artist. His latest album \u201cHard Times for Dreamers\u201d was produced by legendary Philly producer Joe Nicolo, who has worked with Kris Kross, Lauryn Hill, Fugees, Cypress Hill and Schoolly D.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded most of the album at Joe Nicolo\u2019s home studio in Audubon,\u201d said\u00a0Fitzy. \u201cWe thought about using his full studio \u2013 Studio Four \u2013 but the vibe there is more polished. I didn\u2019t want things to be too worked-on and too methodical. Joe said \u2013 we need to put some dirt on it. We worked on it throughout most of 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzy\u2019s post-college career began on a high note when he performed with the Foo Fighters at the Grammy Awards as a Top Three finalist in the \u201cMy Grammy Moment\u201d competition. Since then, he has established a career as a solo artist and a sideman.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in a musical home,\u201d said\u00a0Fitzy. \u201cMy mom Gloria was a singer and a guitarist in a progressive rock band from the mid-70s until 1981.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic was continually playing in our house. My earliest memories tied to music include listening to George Benson, Al Jarreau, Genesis and Peter Gabriel. I started playing violin when I was nine in fourth grade at Caln Elementary School.<\/p>\n

\u201cI began picking up other instruments later, including guitar, drums, keyboards and sax \u2013 and beat-box. I had several different bands during and after college, but financial restrictions drove me to become a solo act. I\u2019ve been able to do it by using a beatbox and doing live looping.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzy\u2019s recorded output stretches from \u201cRedefinition,\u201d which was released in 2011 to \u201cHard Times for Dreamers\u201d in 2017.<\/p>\n

In a previous interview, Fitzy said, \u201cThat record that I put out almost three years ago will be the last album for the foreseeable future. The music industry keeps changing. The idea of spending so much time recording and putting out an album isn\u2019t that great. New music goes out of the audience\u2019s attention too quickly. It\u2019s hard to keep longevity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m busy every day \u2013 keeping the balance between playing shows and doing things that bring in money. I\u2019m an artist with no big machine behind me. I am trying to get to a point where I can take a larger ensemble on the road instead of just me. I\u2019m doing solo shows out of necessity. It\u2019s too expensive to bring on players of the caliber I want to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fitzy\u2019s solo shows had been going over well. The album was been well-received, and\u00a0Fitzy\u2019s schedule of live shows was far from empty \u2013- until COVID-19 reared its ugly head.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really miss performing for fans in shows with live audiences,\u201d said Fitzy this week. \u201cStreaming shows are a difficult adjustment because there is zero reaction in real time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Fitzy\u2019s live internet offerings have created strong reactions such as positive comments, greater exposure and a growing fan base \u2013 a fan base that surely will grow even more after his performance on \u201cLove From Philly.\u201d<\/p>\n

In an August 28 Farcebook post, Fitzy said, \u201cI’m so excited to be part of the\u00a0Love From Philly Live<\/a>\u00a0festival this weekend with so many artists and bands that I’ve worked with live and in the studio.\u201d<\/p>\n
