GARY CAMARO – SATURDAY MATINEE

🪕 Montrose Saloon – 2933 W Montrose Ave
Tip Bucket Show • Doors at 2PM • 21+ with ID

🎤 Gary Camaro is a Chicago singer-songwriter and the self-proclaimed Poet Laureate of Ashland Ave, known for his gritty lyricism, lo-fi charm, and unfiltered storytelling. His solo sets blend alt-country, folk, and garage rock into a sound that’s as honest as it is haunting—perfect for intimate venues like Montrose Saloon.
Camaro first made waves as the frontman of The Leroy Fix, a cult-favorite local band whose raw, rock earned underground acclaim with releases like Stoned American! and tracks such as “Schizophrenic Summer.” Though the band flew under the radar, their DIY ethos and Chicago soul left a lasting mark on the city’s scene.
He’s also the creative force behind Black Jackal Studio, where he’s helped shape the sound of fellow artists with the same uncompromising spirit. Whether strumming acoustic or channeling raw emotion through electric riffs, Camero’s performances are steeped in lived experience and local grit. Catch him live for a Tip Bucket show that promises sharp wit, heartfelt tunes, and a few surprises along the way.
