FITZKEE BROTHERS with JONATHAN SLOANE & Opener THE WHARF RATS LIVE!
"Fitzkee Brothers" is a full four-piece band led by a group of two brothers (Drew & Alex) who are amazing Singer Songwriters and musicians. George Porter Jr said, “They’re comin’ for ya.’” after hearing them play and Post Malone called them "The mini f-cking Allman Brothers" Nicknamed the "Thump Brothers" for their tight funky rhythm section, they have been amazing audiences with their killer live performances ever since December of 2018 when they took the stage at their first full band rock show at Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, DE. They never looked back, playing their style of high-energy jam band rock with a funky feel and distinct pocket almost constantly before intimate and large audiences in DE, MD, DC, VA, PA, CT, MS, OH, TX, FL & NY. Joined by friends Otto Grundman on guitar and Nick French on keys and serving as mobile ambassadors of the Roots Rock Revival camp founded by Butch Trucks, Oteil Burbridge and Luther Dickinson. The group recently played SXSW in Austin TX after finishing another tour of the east coast of the US with Melody Trucks, daughter of famed Allman Brothers Band Drummer Butch Trucks.
The group is looking forward playing several festivals this spring and summer including “Sunshine and Get Down” in FL with Vaylor and Melody Trucks, “Uncle Willies Midnight Crazy Train Campout” with Melvin Seals, Ron Holloway and Melody Trucks in PA and “Country Fest Series” in PA. Others to be announced soon.

The Fitzkee Brothers’ sound has matured and evolved over the years from an "in your face" punk rock to a soulful, funky brand of rock & roll. The Brothers’ single "Give You All My Love" has topped 116k YouTube views and 100k Spotify streams since October 2023! Their newest release “Lakesong” is currently on the “Modern Jam Band” Spotify editorial playlist and has 73k Youtube views and 18k Spotify streams. Both were recorded at 38 North Studios, and produced by Jim Ebert who described the musical group as "Foo Fighters meets Allman Brothers". Mixed by Jeff Juliano at The Shed. “Tomorrow” was released 8/30/23 and features the familiar funky rhythm section with a new slide guitar feel.

The Wharf Rats, Live! started fifteen years ago as a project to bring a new interpretation to the long format jam sound created by the Dead. The band has evolved over these past years to incorporate Jazz & Classical themes into the improv, as well as originals in the same genre. The band has played at numerous notable venues in the DMV area and has expanded out to the DelMarva. The sound is unique and captivating, drawing a loyal following as we expand our musical bounds that have no limits. " Shall we go, you and I, while we can...."
