FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:MICHAEL McDERMOTT Returns to FITZGERALDS Nightclub!$25 General Admission / Reserved Tables AvailableMcDermott knows a thing or two about heartbreak and arrested development. Back inthe early 90s, McDermott was the new toast of the major label recording industry with his debut album, 620 W. Surf. But in typical chew-them-up and spit-them-out style,McDermott had seemingly been tossed in the never-been bin by the end of that decade.He persevered, though, and built a career fortified by more than a dozen studio albumsand critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, The New York Times, CNN, and TheWashington Post, to name a few. Even Stephen King, the master of the best-sellinghorror novel genre, called McDermott possibly the greatest undiscovered rock and rolltalent of the last 20 years.But this heartland rocker continues to make music on his own terms. He is the ultimatesurvivor of the potentially soul-crushing world of money-hungry executives and starvingsinger-songwriters yearning for stardom. Thats exactly why St. Pauls Boulevard is aspersonal as it is universal. McDermott lived those songs, that place, and those shatteredhopes.Those days are now just a wash of dreams of characters, of drunken and drug-fuelednights wandering all over town looking for an angry fix driven by love, lust, longing, orconnection, he says. I lost a lot of people on St. Paul's Boulevard. Many never made itout, but I'm lucky to have. It's a place that brings out our best and our worst in equalmeasure. It's the landscape where the doggedness of the spirit rises above the grimrealities that surround us.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE (link to restaurant website)Or 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.***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, minors admitted with guardian
