Carl Fritz is a Chicago‑born multi‑instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter whose musical life has always been driven by instinct, curiosity, and a deep love of sound. Born in 1969 and entirely self‑taught, he built his craft the long way—by listening hard, playing constantly, and following whatever instrument or genre sparked his imagination. That restless creativity led him to co‑found a series of bands across multiple eras, each one capturing a different chapter of his evolving voice: Cellar (1998–2003), the raw and exploratory beginnings; My Drunk Uncle (2015–2016), a loose and loud burst of classic rock energy; Petty Cash (2021–2022), a project rooted in heartland storytelling; and White Limo (2024–present), where his rock instincts sharpened into something leaner and more modern.
Now stepping forward as a solo artist, Carl writes, performs, and self‑produces his own material, shaping songs that reflect a lifetime of listening and learning. His style is eclectic by design—steepe

Evil is a song I wrote about 10 years ago about being young and falling into bad habits. Finally got the time to get it recorded. Check out my album "Big City Hillbilly" on all streaming platforms.more
