FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:Saturday Night in the Club w/ MICHAEL McDERMOTT $25 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available McDermott knows a thing or two about heartbreak and arrested development. Back inthe early 90s, McDermott was the new toast of the major label recording industry withhis debut album, 620 W. Surf. But in typical chew-them-up and spit-them-out style,McDermott had seemingly been tossed in the never-been bin by the end of that decade.He persevered, though, and built a career fortified by more than a dozen studio albumsand critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, The New York Times, CNN, and TheWashington Post, to name a few. Even Stephen King, the master of the best-sellinghorror novel genre, called McDermott possibly the greatest undiscovered rock and rolltalent of the last 20 years.But this heartland rocker continues to make music on his own terms. He is the ultimatesurvivor of the potentially soul-crushing world of money-hungry executives and starvingsinger-songwriters yearning for stardom. Thats exactly why St. Pauls Boulevard is aspersonal as it is universal. McDermott lived those songs, that place, and those shatteredhopes.Those days are now just a wash of dreams of characters, of drunken and drug-fuelednights wandering all over town looking for an angry fix driven by love, lust, longing, orconnection, he says. I lost a lot of people on St. Pauls Boulevard. Many never made itout, but Im lucky to have. Its a place that brings out our best and our worst in equalmeasure. Its the landscape where the doggedness of the spirit rises above the grimrealities that surround us.
