Slightly off the beaten path for most Chicagoans, but right on the mark for music lovers, FitzGerald's has been showcasing all kinds of roots music for 25 years in blue-collar Berwyn. On any given week the place plays host to zydeco, country, swing, folk and bluegrass acts, and during the club's popular annual American Music Festival, perhaps all in the same night.
