Winnipeg Honors Drum Legend Brent Fitz | Music News

Winnipeg is paying tribute to legendary drummer Brent Fitz by renaming a street in his hometown’s Crestview neighborhood “Brent Fitz Way”—a soaring honor for the man who’s pounded the drums for rock royalty like Alice Cooper, Slash, and Vince Neil. Rising from Winnipeg’s music programs and Royal Conservatory studies, Fitz left home in the ‘90s to chase his dreams, becoming a global touring force while mastering piano, guitar, and vocals. Moved by the gesture, he credits the recognition not just to his career but to being a proud ambassador of his city—a humble kid from St. James turned rock icon. The official ceremony takes place Friday, August 7th at 10 AM. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
