Vocalist, songwriter, producer, guitarist, harmonica and kazoo player. 1st album on Mainstream Records USA 'A Spoonful of Cathy Young' was Billboard Magazine's 'Pick of the Week'. ))) x HI I just wanted to let you know of an important video just uploaded. It's called Cardboard Condo by FitZ. It's made to bring awareness to the homelessness crisis, and the importance of preserving Dignity through circumstance. I urge you to check it out and pass on the word. They're trying to get this to Oprah, for more exposure of the issue. Thanks! Cathy www.myspace.com/cathyoung.. Here's the link! http://www.veoh.com/channels/Cardboardcondo2008x
Cathy Young was the person that started our very first myspace page, the one you’re reading right now! We are so very grateful to all our friends for helping us get our music out to the whole world!
After Cathy started our page she put us in touch with Larry Patterson, the good-looking chap right here:
Larry has been Promoting FitZ since early October. In just 6 months we’ve had over 100,000 hits on our sites. Larry is guy that we hope to work with for the rest of our careers on this planet! There are no words to express how we truly feel about Larry, Cathy, Duane and many more GREAT folks helping us.With the support of all these great friends, everyday more and more people are hearing our music and I’m sure it’s now just a matter of time and FitZ will make a difference for the better, in this world through our music!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Duane Thomas.... "There are bands and then there are bands. Groups of
like-minded musicians sharing a common dream to play and perform. A
top group with great vocals and music, thus heralds greatness in
musicians Dave and Greg Fitzpatrick and "FITZ", as they speak for us
all with their dedication, talent and devotion to family. That's sure
the case with "FITZ", Dave and Greg... the Brothers Fitzpatrick up in
Newfoundland.. A lifetime commitment and a lifelong dream to play and
perform, over the last 30 or so years, Dave and Greg, while playing
all their own instruments, have admitted (and impressively so), to
composing over 1,000 original songs. Their original tunes like
"Cardboard Condo" are helping to raise awareness to the plight of the
homeless worldwide. This is one song that really stands out and speaks
to social injustice and the plight of families left stranded in the
night. Other tunes make you smile and forget the troubles of the world
we share. They can sound like Johnny Cash to The Beatles, and they can
sound like nothing you've heard before. Superb musicians and both
great vocalists, "FITZ" has done their time and has paid their dues.
Their songs have a tendency to "make you happy" and feel as though
you've found a friend in music that writes and performs your thoughts,
wishes, hopes and desires. This can only come from years and years of
trial by fire and empty bar rooms, full stages and deserted ones. The
great songwriters of times past knew to tap into the lifestyles and
wants of a generation. Dave and Greg have done that. They hold the
keys to the music of the future as in it; it reflects all of our
pasts, present and futures to come. Their music speaks for me and you,
and for those who dream. It's a vision they've had for these past many
decades. And, it is a vision shared by all of us who experience their
music. Their time had come, and is decades over due. "Hurricane" Duane

Had to shrink it down to load up... The DVD will be released this August. FitZ "LIVE IN BRIGUS" 50% of the profits from the DVD sales will go back to the beautiful venue that this live performance was taped at. St. Georges Heritage Church which is now used for nothing but the Arts & weddings. This is a song I wrote with Greg after reading the book "The Secret" Enjoy Dave FitZ (& Greg)
