Hey all in the southeastern PA region. Brian Fitzy (Fitzgerald) is a local acoustic guitarist singer-songwriter who plays a downright wicked electric violin. I saw him at the Red Star Craft House in Exton PA. He does a lot of self-accompaniment with digital tape loops. He is very good at timing his tape loops perfectly and did some hip-hop rapping throughout the set. He is quite the entertainer. Granted his set list isn't prog but his violin chops are unparalleled. I talked with him after his set and he is quite the prog aficionado. In fact his sister worked with John Wetton. During my conversation, I mentioned that I have discovered an appreciation for Celtic music. He gave me a CD (A New Shade of Green) which is a real nice blend of prog and Celtic. His violin is all over the disc. The website is www.BrianFitzy.com. Check him out
