What a weekend! First at The Underpass
in Elmwood Park, NJ on Saturday night and then The Bitter End in NYC on Sunday,
Brian Fitzpatrick and his band celebrated the release of the new album, State

drums (you wouldn't believe the speed and Together the group shared a wonderfully eclectic mix of original songs from all three of Brian's albums plus various well-selected covers that likewise proved crowd favorites.

acoustic show in January. And indeed we audience members were the grateful
beneficiaries.
