The Fritz Twins
Wayne and Stan Fritz, "the twins" , have been rocking stages since 1965, when their father brought home their very first guitars. By 1970, they were already channeling their passion into their first rock band. In the mid-‘70s, they took things to the next level by forming Kickin, releasing their album Starbound Lady, and hitting the road for extensive tours across the U.S. and Canada. Along the way, they opened for iconic national acts like Rush, Aerosmith, Bryan Adams, and Loverboy. In 1980, the brothers returned to their Omaha roots and formed On The Fritz, a band that’s been thrilling audiences ever since. With over 40 years of experience and more than 100 shows a year, On The Fritz is still in high demand, bringing their signature energy and talent to every performance. Their legendary history and unmatched live presence make every show a must-see event, and they show no signs of slowing down!

Turk’s musical journey began in Ames, Iowa, where his love for music blossomed at a young age. He started classical piano lessons with Mrs. Simpson when he was just 4 years old, and soon after, he added the tenor saxophone to his repertoire in elementary school band. After graduating from Ames High School, Turk took his passion for music to the next level by joining the Cedar Rapids-based band Men Rockin in 1984. Their debut album, Life 2, was well-received across the Midwest, and their follow-up, Serious, earned them radio airplay and a growing fan base. The band toured the Midwest, performing at college showcases and even making a memorable appearance on TV’s Star Search in 1985.
When Men Rockin came to an end, Turk joined On The Fritz in 1986, where his heart and soul became deeply embedded in the band’s sound. Known for his versatile and powerful vocals, Turk adds a unique warmth to every performance, complemented by his skillful keyboard playing and the occasional soulful saxophone solo. His dedication to his craft and his genuine love for music continue to shine through, making him not just a musician but a beloved part of the On The Fritz family. His journey, filled with passion, dedication, and joy, is a testament to the power of music to connect and uplift.
Brandon’s musical journey began early, when he first picked up the trumpet in elementary school band before discovering a true passion for the drums after his family relocated overseas in 6th grade. He further developed his skills through lessons and playing along to his favorite bands, eventually pursuing music education at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. After one year, he chose to focus on performing, joining The Aaron Zimmer Band in 2000.
