Thursday Night in the SIDEBAR w. HENRY CARPENDER!

FITZGERALDS SIDEBAR Presents: HENRY CARPENDER FREE SHOW! Click Book Now to RSVP for guaranteed entry. Henry Carpender is a trombonist, composer, and educator based in the city of Chicago. An artist who is equally informed by his classical training, love of Jazz, and childhood playing rock music (primarily with his father John Carpender), Henrys playing and writing is a charming blend of punchy, sensitive, quirky, and dripping with love for life and self expression. Henrys dedication to music making began at age 13 when he played his first gig with the much beloved local band Expo 76. Since then, through both his education and the beginning of his professional freelance career, Henry has been fortunate enough to share the stage with Dag Juhlin, Billy Harper, Robbie Fulks, Tanya Darby, Cathy Richardson, NRBQ and the Canadian Brass. Henry has also enjoyed a healthy start to a career as a private instructor and group music educator, running a small studio of dedicated middle and high schoolers across the Chicagoland area. When hes not playing or teaching, he can be found playing video games, cooking a new dish, or relaxing on Montrose beach.This show will be an opportunity to premiere new work, revisit some favorites, and share arrangements of some of Henrys favorite artists. The ensemble will include Rufus Parenti on the tenor saxophone, Stephen Kuhn on the guitar, Mary Halm on the upright bass, and Tommy Sagins on the drums.Grab dinner before the show at BABYGOLD BARBECUE***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***21+, Minors admitted with guardian!
