FITZGERALDS Presents:The MOUNTAIN GOATS at FITZGERALDS OutdoorsFITZGERALDS OUTDOORS is the name we give large outdoor concerts with a festival style setup: a large stage with a state of the art sound system, lights, and Pavilion to protect from any inclement weather will make for an incredible outdoor show at our historic old nightlcub!There are Mountain Goats albums that emerge from historical deep dives, vividly rendered autobiography, liturgical exploration, and modern anthropological study. Through This Fire Across From Peter Balkan came from a dream. In May 2023, John Darnielle took to his phone in the middle of the night to document a title from somewhere in his subconscious. Because this is the Mountain Goats-a band known for avoiding the easy route, always challenging themselves to push a step beyond-Darnielle not only decided to complete this mysterious project but also to deliver it as a full-on musical that stands as the most conceptually detailed and musically elaborate project in the band's ever-expanding catalog."I loved musicals when I was a kid," Darnielle explains, "but I hadn't really indulged in them that much until the last 7 years or so. And then we did Jenny From Thebes, which I called a 'fake musical' a lot... But this one actually is going for it."Produced by the Mountain Goats' multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas, who also co-wrote several songs, the record is embracing, inviting, and overflowing with melody and orchestration that extends far beyond the boundaries of their past work. "My approach is more arrangement-based," Douglas says of his role. "I'm trying to sculpt the shape of the songs with the layering of instruments that are suiting the song best I am sometimes a bit of a maximalist with that stuff. Sometimes more is more!"Enjoy BABYGOLD BARBECUE before during and after the show by booking a table in the dining room, OR visiting the fast casual BBQ set up in the back corner of the patio!
