William Fitzsimmons is one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents, William was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Due to the family's inability to communicate through normal visual means, William's childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands. When his father's orchestral records were not resonating through the walls, his mother would educate him on the folk stylings of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel.

Great music man. I'm truly inspired by you. I literally went through about 100 bands on myspace just looking from page to page trying to find an artist that really puts himself into his music and could make me feel something and i finally found the artist, it's William Fitzsimmons! Keep up the great work and keep singing from your heart.

I love you man!

Is it true that you will play another show in Cologne on the 15th? That would be wonderful, because then my friend Anne can see you, although the show on the 16th is SOLD OUT! (How great for you! SO many people want to see you!:) haha.Bad for us... you're not a secret anymore:D)
Take care!

William, I enjoyed the show in Tübingen so much! Actually I don't buy band-t's but the one with the Lumperjack-print was too cool to not buy it :)

We'll finally record some of my songs this winter and so I am really inspired after listening to your songs live...

Enjoy the rest of the tour & come back soon!

Greetings - Heidi

Oh my God.

I was talking to my boyfriend earlier tonight and outof nowhere I hear your voice singing very softly barely even at all...

I was like "WAIT! I hear William Fitzsimmons!!" And i looked at the TV and sure enough... Your song was on Brothers and Sisters. I was yelling all over the place!! Haha I was like "KEVIN! IT'S WILLIAM FITZSIMMONS! ON THE TV! HE'S ON THE TV!!"


So I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you congratulations. You out of all the people I have ever listened to in my life deserve to make it big... and I have no doubt that you will. :]

You are amazing... and Im proud to say Im a fan. :]
