BRIAN LUPO'S Steppin' Into Spring @ FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB!
About This Event
FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:BRIAN LUPO$25 / General AdmissionGuitarist, Brian Lupo, was born on the northwest side of Chicago on November 18, 1976. A graduate of Notre Dame High School, Lupo (who had always been a fan of rock and roll especially, The Allman Brothers Band) was a late bloomer when it came to playing blues guitar. In fact, he did not pick up the instrument until 1996 (at the age of 20).
Still, once he picked up that first Fender Stratocaster, he would rarely be seen without it again. He spent the next 5 years wood-shedding intensely and honing his unique sound. B.
King. When he finally did come up for air, he found himself a much sought after sideman for some of the most popular singers on Chicagos hard-scrabble west side. In 2002, he accepted a regular weekly gig with the indomitable Willie D.
performing every Friday and Sunday night at The 290 Sport s finest blues and soul vocalists. S. And Canada.
In 2006, Lupo, became disillusioned with the Chicago music scene, and pulled up roots to re-locate in Las Vegas, NV. It was there, in the desert, that he would almost inconceivably reinvent himself (and support his young family) as a professional poker player! Finally, in 2014, family obligations brought Lupo back to his Chicago roots and the blues music he so deeply loved.
