FITZGERALDS NIGHTCLUB PRESENTS:CATHY RICHARDSON BAND (seen HERE) Returns to FITZGERALDS!$25 General Admission / Reserved Tables Avalable Its hard to think of any musician whos had a more varied career than Chicago-based singer Cathy Richardson; from scrappy indie rock singer selling albums out of her car to commercial jingles, off-Broadway stage productions to fronting Jefferson Starship and a variety of side projects, she also picked up a Grammy nomination along the way. The twists and turns of her career feel impossible to follow, and incredibly unlikely, but are owed to the vast range of Richardsons dynamite-packed vocal cords and her dogged perseverance to achieve goals she set as a teenager.When I set out to do rock and roll, I was like, Im going to be a rock star. Not, I want to be a rock star. Im going to be a rock star, she says. I thought that it was, Oh, Im going to write songs and Im going to shop them to a record label and then Im going to get signed and then Im going to be rich and famous. Thats how I thought it was going to go down and that was my sort of plan. I had no idea how I was going to enact that plan, but I just blindly started trudging down that path. And then it was just always one little door after another that kept opening. It was just these little sort of victories along the way, these little dangling carrots that I would chase after and then I would get them, and then it would be like, Okay. What next? Whats next?Whats next for Richardson is as varied as her list of credits, but in the immediate future is performing with her deep well of self-penned songs, which shes built up over decades as the frontwoman for a list of bands too long to list here, and, in Voice Box, a monthly songwriting and storytelling event she co-hosts outside Chicago for the last eleven years.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE (link to restaurant website)Or enjoy full service dining inside the club when doors open. ***PARKING***There is rather limited
