Switchback- Irish Duet
WHEN THEY MET IN 1984, Switchback's Martin McCormack was a college student and in a pop band with his siblings , and Brian FitzGerald was moonlighting as a house painter and was part of an Irish quartet. Over the next few years, the pair played together in three different bands (two of them traditional Irish), to whom McCormack contributed bass and his classically trained tenor; FitzGerald supplied guitar and fleet mandolin. Finally, the tug of their own song writing talents and love for American roots music inspired to them to break away and form their own duo- Switchback- in 1993. Their partnership has produced nine albums to date, ranging from the lean and energetic debut, "Ain't Goin' Back"(1994), to the honky- tonk jukebox medley "Dar's Place"(1998(, to the critically acclaimed Celtic twang of "The Fire that Burns"(2002). But these men, whose Americana creations alternate between sentimental ballads to blistering rockers that deliver the full band experience with an efficient acoustic duo set-up, never abandoned their traditional roots.
