Biography
Samantha Fitzpatrick Band is a southern rock / pop band formed in Cleveland, OH, United States in 2010.
Samantha Fitzpatrick was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. At the age 5, Samantha began to sing solos at school programs. By the 3rd grade, her piano teacher offered her free vocal lessons because she saw and heard Samantha's potential as an entertainer. At 12 years old, she joined her mother Charmaine Fitzpatrick with the singing duo The Sweethearts Of Harmony. They were a tribute to the girl groups from the 50s and 60s. The duet performed car cruses, sock hops, and birthday parties all over Ohio and eastern Pennsylvania. The Sweethearts were part of the biannual Do Wopp Festival by Flamingo Productions in Conneaut Lake Park PA's Dreamland Ballroom, opening for many national groups such Pookie Hudson and the Spaniels, The Capri's, and Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. Unfortunately the ballroom burned down in 2008. The Sweethearts will however, forever be known as part of the last act to ever perform on that stage, opening for The Edsels at the famed Dreamland Ballroom.
At age 16, Samantha Fitzpatrick went solo and accompanied herself on guitar at local coffee shops and open mic nights. Her sophomore year at Ohio State she started playing various venues throughout Columbus, Ohio. That led her to find and join the Fogery Run band as the rhythm guitar player and backup vocals. This band was honored by opening for national country star Eric Church. A couple years later, she moved back to Cleveland and formed the Samantha Fitzpatrick Band with Jono Yowell at her side at Stand up and Electric Bass.
Samantha's talent has also won her a car in a singing competition! She has performed all over Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. She recently felt privileged to sing our National Anthem at minor league baseball's Captain Stadium in Eastlake, Ohio. Currently, with her amazingly powerful yet sultry voice and with right hand man/ bass player Jono Yowell, they continue to wow audiences with their wide array music and jaw dropping talent as they tour the eastern United States as a must see acoustic act.
In 2012 SFB released their first album entitled "Above Blue Waters".
