Dedicated To The Proposition That....

"Music Should Be Fun"

Meet The Fat City Band:

Paul Redmond: Lead Vocals, Harmonicas

As the founding member and primary lyricist Mr. Redmond has been, and

continues to be the drive behind the band.

His witt, style and tireless energy are unleashed at every show no matter

how big or small. Paul is "Mr. Fat City".

John Litwin: Drums

As only the second drummer to own the throne, John holds the groove and feel

of each composition right in place. Now with Fat City for over 38 years John is

the driving force behind this very tight and punchy rhythm section.

Mark Andersen: Guitars, Backing Vocals

Mark brings his 40 plus years of expertise to the Fat City stage every night.

Whether the band is pumping out main stream blues, rock, country, or R&B

Mark takes the crowd on a journey in every tune. The former lead guitar player

for country legend "Dolly Parton" knows how to get it done and masters his

insturment every night.

Joe Baglione: Basses, Backing Vocals

Joe has had a bass guitar slung around his neck for over 45 years playing

with many local, regional, and national acts along the way. Funk, Rock, Blues,

Progressive Rock, and Country are only a few of the many genre in his arsenal.

Now with Fat City for over 13 years and the businesss manager of the band, Joe

steps up to the plate both on and off the stage.

Shane Wood: Keyboards, Backing Vocals

Shane has been with Fat City for 4 years now and it didn't take him long to settle

right in as one of the main influences of the Fat City sound. Tastefull chord voicings,

melodic and inventive solos. Shanes mastery of the keyboard is obvious.

Shane also leads the critically acclaimed "Shane Wood Jazz Trio" when he's not busy

with The Fat City Band.

Clayton DeWalt: Slide Trombone

Clayton is one of the newer members of The Fat City Band. He was instrumental in

the recording and release of our latest CD "Done Deal" and now a full time member of the "Young Guns Horns". Clayton is also a New England Conservatory grad and brings a whole new dynamic to the band. He's an exciting player and a great guy. Along with "Mr." Marcus they both add another incredible dimension to the Fat City sound.

Marcus Sholar: Saxophones

The Fat City Horns wouldn't be complete without a "Honkin, & Wailin" tenor sax player.

Marcus is that and more. Whether it's creating a soulful, melodic solo that can move you

emotionally, or blasting out a powerful verse that will rattle your bones, Marcus can do

it all. A graduate of Univercity of Miami Marcus has toured the world, playing as far away as China, where he worked extensively. Now home to stay, Marcus is the cornerstone of the big Fat City Horn Sound.

Now in our 45th year, The Fat City Band has had the good fortune to be able to write, record, and perform our own unique style of Blues, Roadhouse Rock, Jazz, and New Orleans Style R&B for all our fans and friends alike from coast to coast and beyond.

Although some of the faces have changed over the years, we remain committed to one idea...

"Music Should Be Fun".

Now, with the addition of some "Young Talent", we are excited to bring our 4+ decades of showmanship and entertainment experience to every show.

We Invite You To...
