Ryan Fitzsimmons “Cold Sky”
“Ryan Fitzsimmons has a singing style with an engaging, mature pop feel, edgy and full. The production here ranges from roots-rock/pop to acoustic employing banjo and fiddle. One of the more satisfying tracks is “North Central Line.” The lyrics mourn the loss of an old railway line and the inexorability of change: I’m waitin’ on the North Central Line / in a station where here’s no place for time / on a platform that’s slowly rotting away. Mandolins and fiddles provide a fitting backdrop to this paean to a bygone era.”
Amy Black “One Time”
“Although her promo notes say she calls Boston her home base, there’s a lot of the South in Amy’s gritty vocals. Her tales of busted romance, heard over a dobro’s slide put us well below the Mason-Dixon Line. When she rocks out, it’s with a big dose of rockabilly and that’s right in my wheelhouse. We expect that the airwaves/cyberstreams will be carrying a lot of Amy.”
Indie artist, Chuck Schaeffer, has just released his new CD, “Along These Lines.” The title song, “Along These Lines,” was written by Trespass artist, Craig Bickhardt.
“Trespass Music artist Craig Bickhardt dug deep in to his 900+ song catalog to find the right title song for Chuck Schaeffer’s new CD, ‘Along These Lines’.” “Trespass Music is all about the independent artist, and we’re especially proud to add Chuck to the long list of artists who have covered Craig’s songs.

About Ryan Fitzsimmons
Folk/American Songwriter/Rock
COLD SKY brings Ryan’s amplified Americana sound to record. Produced by David Goodrich (Chris Smither, Peter Mulvey, it showcases all sides of his talent, from the catchy bluegrass-tinged hook of “I Don’t Want to Wait”, to the dark electronically-bent melancholy of “Cigarettes”. This album is a journey that takes us from dark shadows of grief and regret to the pure joy of singing at the top of your lungs. This record is a document, recorded mostly live in the studio, of what Ryan’s been doing on stage for years; pouring every ounce of his being into each note. The listener can’t help but to buckle in and enjoy the ride!

“Patience is a virtue, goes the saying. That certainly applies to the new album “Cold Sky” by the American singer and songwriter Ryan Fitzsimmons. On the new album in several sessions over a period of seven years work and live in the beautiful Signature Sounds studio in Massachusetts, assisted by skilled producer David Goodrich. For many, probably known as a producer of albums by Chris Smither, Jeffrey Foucault and Peter Mulvey.
Ryan Fitzsimmons has over the last ten years in America has a huge reputation as a singer-songwriter, he has a fan base that attracts. “Cold Sky” is a series of breathtaking musical moments. Ryan Fitzsimmons makes this CD a diverse range of folk and pop songs heard. Exuberant about his marriage to Meredith Venner (Diamond Ring) and covered by a dark shadow of sadness over the loss of his dog (Guardian) convinces “Cold Sky” on all fronten. De singer-songwriter proves that good songs need little more than his emotional voice, the semi-acoustic arrangements and the strong support of Dana Price (violin, Ian Goldstein (mandolin (Faisal Aswat (bass), Greg Klyma (mandolin) and Jim Larkin (drums).”

“These releases are not in any order and are based on something that defies words. These songs stayed in my CD player for days and even some songs on repeat for days and became part of the soundtrack of 2011 for me. There are many great recordings of 2011 – these are the ones that resonated with me”
