Brent Fitz Honored with Winnipeg Street | Rock Music News

Winnipeg just honored its rock legend Brent Fitz by renaming a street in Crestview to “Brent Fitz Way” — a huge moment for the drummer behind Triumph and Slash. Mayor Scott Gillingham praised Fitz as an inspiration, especially for young locals, highlighting his journey from humble beginnings to global fame. Fitz, who found out about the honor during a Triumph concert in May, spoke emotionally at the ceremony, crediting his parents, neighborhood hangouts, skateboarding, and jam sessions on Bellavista Crescent — calling it the “Miracle Mile” that shaped his life. He reflected on how Winnipeg gave him everything he needed to become a musician and vowed to keep being a proud ambassador for the city. It’s a powerful story of hometown pride, legacy, and music born right here. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
