Pencil This In: Fitzgerald's American Music Festival

By Chuck Sudo in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 2, 2014 5:30PM

2014_7_2_PTI.jpg FItzgerald's annual American Music Festival is widely regarded as one of the best roots music festivals in the nation and it's fitting it all coalesces at the Berwyn roadhouse during the Independence Day holiday. Whether you're in the mood for bluegrass, blues, jazz, country, garage or straight up indie rock, the four-day festival has something for everyone, along with plenty of barbeque, grilled meats and Cajun cooking to sate the hungriest of appetites.

Check out the full schedule here and consider taking some time out of your holiday to make a trek to Berwyn sometime this weekend. (6615 W. Roosevelt Rd., Berwyn)
