Fitzsimmons is equal parts songwriter and psychotherapist, creating captivating music which uniquely melds depravity, honesty, and autobiography into a counter intuitively seamless whole.

William Fitzsimmons is equal parts songwriter and psychotherapist, creating captivating music which uniquely melds depravity, honesty, and autobiography into a counter intuitively seamless whole.

The appeal of Fitzsimmons' sound is indicative of his unique upbringing and consequent life experience. Born and raised in Pennsylvania by two blind parents, Fitzsimmons grew up in a home where sound - particularly music - was integral to communication. His parents had an assortment of guitars, pianos and other instruments, and introduced young William to the music of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen, among others.

For many years, armed with a Master's degree in counseling from Geneva College, he worked as a mental health therapist, and only began recording his songs during graduate school breaks. While previous releases have been a detailed and agonizing retelling of events, the new album 'Gold In The Shadow' is about Fitzsimmons' personal regeneration in the aftermath of those experiences.
