FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:CALIFONE Returns to FITZGERALDS w/ special guest Kinsella & Pulse, LLC.$35 General Admission / Reserved Tables Available Califone is an acclaimed musical project centered around Tim Rutili and a regular and rotating cast of contributors. Formed out of the Chicago band Red Red Meat, theyve been exploring the tension between experimental noise, acoustic texture, technology, humanity, cinematic images and microscopic poetry since 1998 with over a dozen albums of sleeper hits and enduring classics. Califones latest albums, 2023s Villagers and 2025s The Villagers Companiontake us through the heart of Califones magic: reverb-drenched piano chords, electronic whirs, and layers of experimental noise. Guided by Tim Rutilis abstract, fragmented lyricsboth strange and familiardelivered through his warm, well-worn vocals, it creates an experience as evocative as it is haunting. Often passing through what seem to be the spaces between radio frequencies, the stations never meant to be heard. Crackles of static, feedback loops, and fleeting signals bloom into meditative moments, with each sound given space to breathe, unravel, and shimmer in slow decay. The result resonates deeply, transforming what might be noise into something profound, hypnotic, and totally immersive. Like sitting in awe on the porch swing at the end of the world, Califones latest marvels at the edge of the universe spreading into the darkness of infinity.
