Fitz & Wiseman

Fitz & Wiseman perform a wide variety of crowd-pleasing dance music... as Fitz always says, "everything from Johnny Cash to Pink Floyd."  Here's a brief biography:

In 1993, Dave Fitzpatrick and Clyde Wiseman teamed up as a musical duo, aptly named Fitz & Wiseman, and established a solid footing on the Newfoundland & Labrador music scene.  With their bang-on covers of everyone's favourite songs in a variety of genres (i.e. top 40, rock 'n roll, rock, country, dance mix, pop, and country rock), they quickly gained a reputation for packing venues, standing room only, throughout the 'A' circuit.
In 1994, one of their side-projects, "The David J. Fitz Band", won a battle-of-the-bands contest, which yielded a cash prize and the opportunity to perform on a concert billing with Prairie Oyster, Pam Tillis, Brooks & Dunn, and Tanya Tucker.
 

Over the years, Fitz & Wiseman have also been performing professionally with (or, as members of) various acts and have toured extensively, appearing on numerous local, national, and international television & radio shows.  Drawing on many years of professional musical experience, they are credited on a combined total of over 100 recording projects as musicians, producers, co-producers, and/or arrangers. While recognized for their broad range of talents and abilities, Dave and Clyde are perhaps best known for their work as founding members in one of our province's finest Celtic-rock bands, The Fables.  In their travels, they have shared the stage with John Fogerty, Tom Cochrane, Collective Soul, America, Terri Clark, Jann Arden, Shaggy, Nazareth, Blue Rodeo, April Wine, I Mother Earth, Susan Aglukark, Bruce Guthro, Natalie MacMaster, Valdy, Lennie Gallant, Julian Austin, Ashley MacIsaac, Our Lady Peace, Colin James, David Usher, and Dr. Hook (just to name a few).
 

Following their departure from The Fables in 2003, Dave and Clyde collaborated on production and recording projects, but with their individual commitments to other projects, they rarely had the opportunity to perform onstage together.  In October 2011, they decided to merge their recording studios and form a new production company. The excitement inevitably led to another decision... you guessed it... the reunion of Fitz & Wiseman.
 

News of the reunion created quite a buzz!  Fitz & Wiseman shifted into high gear and hit the stage in January 2012. As you might expect, their show still features a wide variety of material, including many classics.
 

The succeeding years have proven to be very busy!  Along with the 2015 reunion of the original members of The Fables, who will be performing a limited number of shows each year, Dave and Clyde are still going full tilt as 'Fitz & Wiseman' while they are continuing to write, produce and record material for various studio projects, in addition to performing throughout Newfoundland & Labrador and the Maritimes.
