THE MUSIC SCENE. CHECK OUT THE WEBSITES FOR
Fitzgerald’s
A veritable mainstay in The Heights, Fitzgerald’s has been holding court at the
NW corner of White Oak and Studewood since 1977! Sara Fitzgerald kept the
two wood floors of the original Polish center (Fitz has both upper and lower level
stages) rocking after the Polish moved on, and now the Free Press Summer Fest
guys are keeping the history running. Fitz specializes in many of the acts that
Summer Fest is now known for, spanning most genres except country. Shows are
all ages but the bar program has some solid drinks, so bring your ID if you are of
age. No food but plenty of local restaurants nearby. Upcoming shows
include Minus the Bear, Bad Suns, Toro y Moi and many,
many more. www.fitzlivemusic.com

THOSE CELL PHONES IN YOUR POCKET!!!
