Joseph Michael Fitzpatrick Jr., affectionately known as "Big Joe Fitz," passed away peacefully at his Rosendale, NY home on January 15, 2026, at age 76. A legendary Hudson Valley musician and Radio Woodstock host, he was deeply celebrated and beloved for his community service, his 30-year career at the Astor Home, and last but not least, his soulful, swinging blues. Over the last 20 years or so, he played all over the Hudson Valley with his band, the Lo Fi's.. These gigs, including regular Sunday afternoons for many years at the Falcon, were known for the way Big Joe brought people together and spread the joy. This is a celebration of Big Joe Fitz’ life.
