Fitzgerald

Fitzgerald is a duo from Minneapolis, Minnesota, who create independent folk pop music. Their songs comprise several musical styles, and find a comfortable balance between well-crafted traditional elements and daring experimentation.

Nathan and Mandy's soaring, interweaving vocal melodies create an arresting musical human interaction which is complimented by guitar, bass, cello, drums, sampled submarine sonar, and more.

The result is honest music that portrays powerful moods ranging from the jubilant to the defeated, from darkness to dawn and back again.

Backed by a full band for most live performances, Fitzgerald have been carving a path through the Midwest since 1998. In addition to several regional venues, they have performed at colleges and universities and national music festivals.

Light a Match and Burn It Slowly is their third record after two self-released albums. Bicycle was released in 2000, and Songs For Departure was written and released prior to moving to India in 2001 to do intense humanitarian work.

What they experienced in India provided much of the material for Light a Match--the incalculable human extremes between the rich and poor, death and life, and suffering and joy.

Nathan and Mandy molded these thoughts, emotions and trials into some of their strongest work to date. Standout tracks include "Ghosts Can't Hurt You," "The Lake," "Lost in Your Depth," and "Million Miles."

Fitzgerald has shared the stage with several acts including Over the Rhine, Live in Japan, Ballydowse, Mike Gunther and His Restless Souls, Tora Tora Torrence, Camp Surreal, Nina Pinta Santa Maria, Jason Elstad, Poles Apart, and Ben Kyle.
