William Fitzsimmons

William Fitzsimmons is an indie troubadour from Illinois whose eight studio albums explore themes of joy, heartbreak, loss, and connection. The child of two blind parents, Fitzsimmons was introduced to music at a very young age and quickly developed ability in several instruments. Primarily raised on the folk records of the '60s and '70s, his music leans heavily on the intimate, vulnerable, and acoustic; always inviting the listener into a rare emotional space.

The Sparrow and the Crow 15th Anniversary Tour is a celebration of his critically acclaimed third album; hailed by iTunes as the “best folk album of 2008.”  Written after his first divorce, the record is a beautiful walk through love, loss, and healing. William will embark on a 30 city tour of the US playing the record in its entirety for the first time, in intimate settings armed only with his voice and acoustic guitar, in addition to other fan favorite songs from his catalog.
