...great stories that rock...

About Me


Another song available for free download! Check out "A Quiet Still" and download it for free!

fitz is 4 guys from central Minnesota who all have rock & roll in our blood. Our goal is to bring back what is disappearing from the music scene - great rock albums that tell a great story.
Fitz writes the songs and contributes his memorable guitar playing and vocals. Jens is the "journeyman" rocker of the group, whose bass playing and vocals combine with Pete's solid drum grooves and vocals to provide the stage for Fitz's stories to come alive.
Since the release of this album, Tim has joined the band, and his great lead guitar work will provide an exciting new edge to future albums and shows.
