Big Joe Fitz was born into a musical family in New York City and was drawn to the blues early. At that time it was still possible to see the biggest names in blues in the small clubs of Greenwich Village and early encounters with Muddy Waters, BB King, Paul Butterfield and others set him firmly on the blues highway.
An extraordinary encounter with Howlin' Wolf at The Newport Folk Festival in 1966, and a meeting with Lightnin' Hopkins at The 1st Ann Arbor Blues Festival in 1969 Sealed the deal on a lifelong devotion to the blues.
In the 1970s he performed in and around the NYC area with the guitarist Smokin' Sal Cafiero. The 1980s found Big Joe living in New York's Hudson Valley Region and beginning his long tenure at radio station WDST which continues to this day.
