FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:THE BROS. LANDRETH seen HERE TUMBLING WILD TOUR 2026w/ special guest Madeleine Roger $30 general admission // $40/ seat rserved tablesThe Bros. Landreth are two-time JUNO Award winners from Winnipeg, known for their blend of guitar-driven, soulful, blood harmony roots music. The band, the core of which consists of brothers Dave and Joey Landreth, has earned critical acclaim and a dedicated audience for their heartfelt songs, inventive musicianship, and powerful performances. From their early days attending their fathers gigs as babies (Mom would tuck us into a bassinet and slide us underthe bar tables, says Dave), the brothers have spent a lifetime touring rock clubs, theatres, and music festivals across North America, the UK, Europe, and Australia, including stand-out performances at Byron Bay Blues Festival in Australia and Eric Claptons Crossroads Guitar Festival in Los Angeles. In 2023, a banner year for the band, Joey and Dave became Grammy-winning songwriters when Bonnie Raitts cover of their song, Made Up Mind (from their first album, Let it Lie), earned the Grammy for Americana Performance of the Year. The recognition was a fitting nod from one of their musical heroes, as their own music draws inspiration from the well-worn records of their childhoodBonnie Raitts blues, Little Feats funky country-rock, Ry Cooders eclectic instrumentals, Lyle Lovetts twangy traditionalismculminating in a sound that salutes the past while planting its flag firmly in the present--------------------Madeleine Roger is anaward-winning singer songwriter fromWinnipeg,Canada.While skillfully accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, it is her artistry as a songwriter that can silence a room, uniting her lyrical mastery with a crystalline voice that lingers long after the last note.Her latest album Nerve (produced byJosh Kaufman- Bonny Light Horseman, Anais Mitchell, Bob Weir) is an uplifting gut-punch, an unflinchingly honest body of work examining every nook and cranny of love and loss, while finding a curious peace in spite of it all.

RIGOMETRICS Rigometrics (Portland, Maine) is making serious waves in the Northeast music scene with a dynamic, high-energy sound that blends the soul of classic rock with the grit of funk and blues, the hooks of indie, and the urgency of modern alternative. Their music fuses Josef Berger’s searing guitar work, Derek Haney’s hard-hitting, groove-driven drums, and Keenan Hendricks’ soaring vocals and swaggering piano, which doubles as the bass in their live setup: creating a genre-blurring style that feels both timeless and fresh. The result is a live experience and growing catalog that consistently draws in diverse audiences and fuels an ever-expanding, loyal fan base. Formed in late 2021, the three-piece has toured all over the East Coast and South, sold out 300-cap venues, headlined major shows in Maine, and played over 450 shows. Their catalog now includes 2026’s album The Rigossance Era, 2025’s Live in Maine II and singles Can’t Catch Up, Couldn’t Tell Ya, Hands, Mr. Shove, Hope You Know, and Ghost of Indecision; 2024’s EP Elodie, live album Live in Maine, and singles Endless Road, All My Friends (Live for the Weekend), and No Smoke; 2023’s EP No Time to Waste and single Share the Fortune; and their 2022 debut album Rig N’ Roll. These projects are propelled by their relentless touring schedule and undeniable stage presence ~ backed by years on the road, first in a renovated school bus and now in their dedicated touring van. To bring these releases to life, Rigometrics has collaborated with top-tier producers Jon Wyman, Matt Perry, and Anthony Gatti, as well as Grammy winners Dave Gutter, Adam Ayan, and ‘Bassy’ Bob Brockmann. Together, they’ve crafted music that elevates Rigometrics’ signature sound while keeping it deeply rooted in the spirit of rock ’n’ roll. Band Website Spotify Facebook Instagram LEE CLEAVELAND & THE LEFTHAND BAND Lee Cleaveland & The Lefthand Band is an upbeat, fun, and energetic indie rock band from Detroit, MI. Born missing his left hand below the elbow, Lee uses a small thumb at the end of his stump as a guitar pick. When he’s not playing guitar, this rock n roll cyborg wears a state of the art mind controlled bionic hand which the band flaunts in the comical music video for their blistering garage rock anthem “Cyborg Man”, off of their 2022 debut LP “Tech Support”. This 6 piece, high energy act wields guitars, keys, saxophone, bass and drums in their quest to blend garage rock, surf pop, alt-country, punk, and more into an eclectic yet cohesive signature sound. Through sweat, blood, and tears, this retro-futurist outfit play every show like it’s their last, often demonstrated by the nub blood Lee wears as a trophy on his guitars and his willingness to sacrifice what part of a left arm he has left for the love of the game.

SHOW ME THE BODY Show Me The Body (SMTB) was formed in New York City in 2009. They released “Yellow Kidney” independently in 2015 followed by the “SMTB” EP released via the Letter Racer Collective that same year. After signing with Loma Vista and releasing their debut album “Body War” in 2016, SMTB began touring the US and Europe. Upon returning home the band began a collaborative mixtape project called “Corpus 1” released in 2017. The mixtape featured a broad range of artists and friends who SMTB felt were comrades and innovators, marking the beginning of a community effort spearheaded by SMTB known as Corpus. In the same year, SMTB released a two song Ep called “Challenge Coin”, recorded at Electric Lady Land not far from where the band originated. Between the fall of 2018 and the beginning of 2019 SMTB produced and recorded three projects. All projects; “Grudge 2” by Dreamcrusher, “Machines Smoke” by Tripp Jones, and “Enemy” by Dog Breath, were released via Corpus. In 2019 SMTB presents their sophomore album, “Dog Whistle,” produced by Chris Coady, Show Me The Body, and Gabriel Millman (original drummer and in-house producer). Dog Whistle was written in Long Island City, Queens and recorded in Los Angeles California in the summer of 2018. Band Website Spotify Facebook Instagram WHISPERS Self-designated as “Bangkok Evilcore” Whispers, based out of Thailand, are bringing an immense sound to modern metallic hardcore. Originally formed in 2014, the band picked up steam in 2021 with the release of their Narok Bon Din EP grabbing international attention. Now Whispers join the growing roster of pivotal heavy music label Flatspot Records for the release of Yom-Ma-Lok. Hitting the studio in Spring 2024, Whispers set out to make a heavy, intense record that connects on an emotional level. The band worked with Suchai at Sixthirty Recording Studio in Bangkok to hone in on their sound, before sending the EP to Andy Nelson at BrickTop Recording for mixing and Brad Boatright at Audiosiege mastered it. Influence from bands like All Out War and Merauder comes through across the seven songs, giving a tough as nails delivery packed with menacing riffs. Thematically, Yom-Ma-Lok addresses realism and human nature through a global perspective. Over the years, Whispers has brought their menacing live show across Southeast Asia, Japan, and Europe, and will return to the latter this fall on the Flatspot World tour. With the release of Yom-Ma-Lok, Whispers are setting out to spread the message and sound of Asian hardcore far and wide.

In more than 25 years together, Alkaline Trio has created their own little universe in their songs, one that is a bit dark, a bit brooding, and always just a few short steps away from armageddon. Their music has been a reliable black mirror of reality. And now, as the band releases their monumental tenth album, Blood, Hair, and Eyeballs, the real world looks more like an Alkaline Trio song than ever before—midway through a global meltdown and 90 seconds to midnight on the Doomsday Clock.

FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR PRESENTS: BROWN HORSE $20 General Admission // $25/seat reserved tables Brown Horse return with their third album Total Dive. Their strongest and most grounded work to date, it showcases a new level of skill and assurance in the Norwich, UK band's thoughtful lyricism and musicality. Leaning away from the playfulness and eclecticism of their previous works, Total Dive sees Brown Horse step forward into the darkness with a cautious optimism. With songs from each of the four members (Patrick Turner, Nyle Holihan, Emma Tovell and Rowan Braham) the writing charts a world of small revelations and painful changes. As they move confidently between searing noise and delicate reflection, they take time to note the beauty and agony of the mundane; the death rattle of a vending machine, headlights flashing in the eyes of a road-killed fox, the heather-pink of a winter sky. The new album is the clearest expression yet of Brown Horse's unique sound - somewhere between the stark country rock of Uncle Tupelo, the raw intimacy of early Cat Power, and the haunted landscapes of Magnolia Electric Co., while embracing the self-possessed noisiness of alt rock trailblazers like Built to Spill and The Breeders. Bolstered by the playing of Norwich drummer, Ben Rodwell, and the vocal harmonies of Leeds-based musician, Neve Cariad, Total Dive is the sound of a band coming fully into their own. These are songs inhabited by wide Norfolk skies, thousands of shared miles on the road, the noise of heartbreak and humour, and the echoing silence of long hours spent in strange in-between places.
