OTIS GIBBS at FITZGERALDS Nightclub

About this event

FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:OTIS GIBBS at FITZGERALDS Nightclub$20 General Admission Reserved SEAT / Reserved Tables Available Otis Gibbs is a songwriter, storyteller, painter, photographer, and planter of 7,176 trees. He once wrestled a bear and lost. Hes been called the best unknown songwriter in music today, but if you ask him, hell just say hes a folksinger.The Trust Of Crows, his tenth studio album, was recorded at the iconic Columbia Studio A in Nashville, where Bob Dylan made Blonde on Blonde and Nashville Skyline. Its been closed to the public for decades, but Otis was given permission to record there.Gibbs storytelling extends beyond music to his YouTube channel, where more than 100,000 subscribers listen to tales and folklore passed down by legendary musicians. In an effort to preserve these personal stories before theyre lost to history, he single handedly built a living archive in the spirit of The Lomax Family, Studs Terkel or even Charles Kuralt. This deeply personal project reflects Otis reverence for history, lived experience, and the characters who shaped American roots music from the ground up. Otis embraced a DIY ethic early on, sometimes by choice and sometimes out of necessity. Whether its starting his own record label, podcast, YouTube channel, or whatever else needed to be done, hes created his own ecosystem in the artsall while wearing the same work shirt and old felt hat that he wore planting trees 25 years ago. He continues to shine a light on the forgotten people, places, and the unvarnished beauty of everyday life.Otis and his partner, Amy Lashley have spent the last 20 years in their tiny home on top of a hill in East Nashville surrounded by artists, weirdos, radicals and as many animals as possible. Gibbs has been likened to everyone from Guthrie to Springsteen but his is the rare voice that stands on its own. -Esquire Man, can this singer tell a story -USA Today Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUEOr enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open.***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, minors admitted with guardian
