William Fitzsimmons
Fitzsimmons' path into music came at the influence and education of his parents, both of whom being blind, relied on the language of music to bridge the gap between themselves and their child. His first two albums were expositions on both his unorthodox upbringing and his family's disintegration during his youth. Very soon thereafter Fitzsimmons found his songs spreading broadly and being featured on national television programs. His third effort, 2008's The Sparrow and the Crow, was a detailed retelling of the events surrounding his divorce. The album was named iTunes' Best Folk Album that same year. Fitzsimmons' new release, Gold In The Shadow, is a musical reflection of the psychological renovation that took place in the years following his divorce. Fitzsimmons is equal parts songwriter and psychotherapist, all while creating captivating music.
