FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:THE FLAT FIVEEveningShow w/ 630pm doors and 730pm Show, 2ndof 2 shows that day!Choose one, or BOTH!?$25 General Admission // $35/seat Tables AvailableScott Ligon was a wunderkind from Peoria who cut his teeth on blues and jazz and was hand-picked by Terry Adams to front the latest version of NRBQ. Kelly Hogan was a punk-rock torch singer with Atlantas The Jody Grind, who made a name for herself in Chicago as a solo performer and versatile session singer with bands such as The Mekons and Tortoise. These two were thrown together for a last-minute gig and found that they had an immediate and effortless vocal blend. They began singing together regularly as a duo and soon added two Southside Chicago pals.Nora OConnor was famous for her laser beam harmonies with Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine and her fearless ability to master any new instrument shes handed; Casey McDonough (the real Swiss Army Knife of the band and a true ninja to those in the know) was tapped to share lead vocal duties with Brian Wilson on the 2017 Pet Sounds tourwith no rehearsals - oy! The final addition was ace drummer Alex Hall, a fixture at Chicagos fabled Green Mill jazz club with The Fat Babies, The Modern Sounds, and Hammond whiz Chris Foremans combo.But as soon as The Flat Five was formed, they were kept apart by their ongoing recording and touring obligations with the acts listed above, and other heavy-hitters likeMavis Staples, Jakob Dylan, Robbie Fulks, Alejandro Escovedo, The New Pornographers, and Linda Gail Lewis.The Flat Five even became locally famous for playing only once a year! But some kind of musical magnet-pull kept bringing these true friends together until they were finally able to put out their debut album, and now in 2020, Another World.So heres some lift. Some buoyancy. A little bit of hope. Things we need now more than ever. Come along for the ride. Lets go!______________________________Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUEOr enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw.
