Matt Dusk provides the soundtrack to Call Me Fitz’s inner life

From Lori Littleton of the Welland Tribune:

  • Another shot of Dusk
    “When the character, who ironically considers himself to be the embodiment of class, thinks to himself, he adopts a soundtrack that represents the classic Vegas crooners — that’s when Dusk will be heard. For the show, he recently recorded classics, such as Yes I Can, That’s Life, Get Me on Your Mind, Anytime at All and two original songs he penned himself, with big band arrangements.” Read more.
