"Snit" Fitzpatrick steps up front from the drums to
become this bands lead singer and rhythm guitarist.
Always a big fan of Chuck Berry "Snit" brings his
life of the party persona to the stage when Snit's

been a part time project for several years beginning
in Atlanta in the late 80's, Snit's Dog and Pony
show did not become a full time act until March
2001. "This is right where I want to be", Snit says.
"It might be about self indulgence but it feels good
being a band leader and entertaining the folks"
"I've got the line up set and we are ready to rock"
says Snit. In his spare time Snit can be found
watching his beloved Atlanta Braves and following
the career of his favorite actress, Scarlett

J.D. DiTullio:
J.D.'s
first "informal" introduction to drumming would have
to be as a baby beating on pots and pans on the
kitchen floor while his mother was cooking. J.D.'s
first "formal" drum instruction started in Atlanta,
GA in the sixth grade as a percussionist in a
symphonic band and would continue for the next seven
years with traveling, performing, competitions,
marching bands and the drum corp. J.D.'s mom
bought him his first drum set for $150.00 while he
was in the eighth grade. He taught himself to play
by listening to his favorite records. While every
drum part taught in school had to be played right
handed, J.D. was truly left handed. When at home ,
he would set up and play the drums left handed not
realizing at the time the value of this added
dexterity.
For the next 15 years J.D. played, toured and
recorded with countless bands ranging from metal,
Rock, top 40, oldies, soul, country and Blues. Most
notably with "Reddog". It was during this time that
he met Snit (around 1988). J.D. played for a while
with Snit and the Kickers. J.D. moved to
Houston in 1995 and started playing, recording and
touring with Bert Wills. He moved to Austin in ' 97
for one year then back to Houston. J.D. has toured
and performed with numerous other bands. Presently
he is enjoying his home in the "Dog and Pony Show"
band.
