FITZGERALDS PATIO Presents: HENRY CARPENDERFREE SHOW! RESERVATION AVAILABLE! Henry Carpender is a trombonist, composer, and educator based in the city of Chicago. An artist who is equally informed by his classical training, love of Jazz, and childhood playing rock music (primarily with his father John Carpender), Henrys playing and writing is a charming blend of punchy, sensitive, quirky, and dripping with love for life and self expression. Henrys dedication to music making began at age 13 when he played his first gig with the much beloved local band Expo 76. Since then, through both his education and the beginning of his professional freelance career, Henry has been fortunate enough to share the stage with Dag Juhlin, Billy Harper, Robbie Fulks, Tanya Darby, Cathy Richardson, NRBQ and the Canadian Brass. Henry has also enjoyed a healthy start to a career as a private instructor and group music educator, running a small studio of dedicated middle and high schoolers across the Chicagoland area. When hes not playing or teaching, he can be found playing video games, cooking a new dish, or relaxing on Montrose beach.This show will be an opportunity to premier new work, revisit some favorites, and share arrangements of some of Henrys favorite artists. The ensemble will include Rufus Parenti on Tenor Sax, Joey Acopiado on Guitar, Nick Olynciw on Keys, Vinny Kabat on Bass, and Tommy Sagins on Drums.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***ALL AGES!

FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR Presents: BRASS QUEENS Brass Queens is a female-led, New York-based brass band that has been dominating the brass band scene since 2019. Finding that they shared similar frustrations about the emerging brass band scene in New York City, co-founders Alex Harris and Ally Chapel came together to form a group dedicated to showcasing the talents of female musicians in a landscape that was dominated by male musicians and bandleaders. After debuting in March 2019, Brass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed the hardest working band in town by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brooklyn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. Now, a core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians. FREE SHOW!

When the vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Braxton Cook first started working on the album that would become Not Everyone Can Go, his life was going through a number of transitions that he just couldnt ignore. Last year, Cook spent lots of time on the road in Europe and Asia, along with two United States tours. I was just very busy, and trying to juggle that with family, it was a lot to manage, Cook said. In a moment of self-reflection, he looked back on the past year, noticed a theme emerging, and came to this conclusion: It was OK to let go of things that werent serving him any longer. Transitions were natural as he stepped into fatherhood. It was only pushing me more in that direction of understanding, he continued. Theres grief that comes along with having to let certain things go to make time for the things I truly value.One can hear Cook breaking through on Not Everyone Can Go, a mix of jazz and Rt surprise those whove followed Cook to this point. Across albums like Somewhere In Between, No Doubt and Who Are You When No One Is Watching?, hes made a career of blurring the lines between genres, landing on a sound that isnt one thing, in particular. While thats made his music tough to pin down, that also makes it all the more intriguing. That you cant label it just Rs attraction.The making of the album also represents a breakthrough for Cook. It was the most collaborative process of his career where he further integrated into his musical network in Los Angeles. Vocal features include NNAVY (Weekend) and Marie Dahlstrom (All My Life), and additional producers include Bubele on Bad, Austin Brown of Hablot Brown on Weve Come So Far, and bassist Kaveh Ragestar (Kneebody) on All My Life. Musically, he and his bandmates would improvise and let the energy flow however it needed. One can hear this free-flow on the albums instrumental tracks Zodiac, Kingdom Come, My Sun (featuring Elijah Cook), and Joshs Tune.
