Switchback, the dynamic, award-winning duo of Marty McCormack (vocals, bass) and Brian FitzGerald (vocals, guitar, mandolin), has been captivating audiences worldwide with their distinctive fusion of American roots and Celtic soul. With decades of experience on stage, they craft a rich, genre-defying sound that resonates deeply with listeners across generations and cultures. The duo’s journey began over 30 years ago at Durty Nellie's, a Palatine bar, where their shared passion for Irish heritage and Midwestern musical traditions sparked a lifelong collaboration.
