FITZGERALDS Presents:CALEXICOFITZGERALDS 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 tenting to protect from any inclement weather will make for an incredible outdoor show at our historic old nightlcub!Praised by NPR for their sprawling, cross-cultural indie rock, Calexico has spent the better part of the past three decades exploring the dusty musical borderlands of the American Southwest, crafting singular, cinematic songs as mysterious and magnificent as the arid desert landscapes that inspired them. Founded in Tucson, AZ, by guitarist/singer Joey Burns and drummer John Convertino, the band first emerged to widespread acclaim in the mid-1990s with a string of arresting, evocative records that blurred the lines between their roots, rock, and Latin influences, but it was 2003s Feast of Wire that truly marked the duos commercial and critical breakthrough, earning them their first appearances on the Billboard charts and rave reviews everywhere from The Guardian to Pitchfork, who called the record genuinely masterful. In the years to come, Calexico would go on to release eight more similarly well-received studio albums that would help land them slots at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Glastonbury, and Roskilde, alongside dates with the likes of Wilco, Pavement, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird, and more. The Washington Post hailed the bands live show as near-flawless, while The Chicago Tribune lauded the vibrant energy and compelling conviction of their performances, and WNYC marveled at the groups ability to both roar like Sonic Youth [and] whisper like Elliott Smith onstage.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!
