Adam Fitz

Adam Fitz was raised on the music of seminal songwriters that resonated through his blue-collared, childhood home on Chicago’s South Side. The likes of Tom Waits, Van Morrison and John Prine shaped his taste and inspired Fitz to write honest songs and find his soulful and emotional voice. As a performer, Fitz and his band frequented historic Chicago clubs starting in 2005 when he released his debut album.
​
With a recent relocation to the Pittsburgh area, Fitz draws inspiration from the songwriters he grew up listening to and marries that with the indie sounds that he discovered as a long time record store clerk. Fitz' full-bodied rasp and storytelling has found him compared to John Fogerty by TimeOut Chicago and Rod Stewart by the Chicago Reader. Fitz has supported such soul greats as Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Syl Johnson and Roscoe Robinson, as well as rock groups like Spoon, and the Smoking Popes. Fitz later released a live album (2009) and another studio album (2013) as well as a handful of singles.
