Fitzsimmons is also a founding member of From Good Homes, a roots rock band signed to RCA Records in the mid to late 90's. FGH recorded three CDs with RCA and toured the country, sharing the stage with Bob Dylan, Dave Mathews Band, Joan Osborne and many others.
He began his solo career in 2001 and continues to tour throughout the northeast building a large and loyal following with his soulful, captivating performances.
Seven Days writes, "Fitzsimmons is an immensely talented singer. With a shimmering, silken delivery, he is effortlessly emotive."
When his sixth CD, "Hope Is," was released, Relix Magazine called him "one of the most captivating songwriters around today."
He has just released his 7th CD, "Bird Tree" which is currently being played on radio stations all over Vermont and beyond.
He'll be accompanied by Becca Kodis on violin.
John Platt of WFUV radio said, "Patrick has such a melodic gift and crystal clear voice...a singer-songwriter of the first rank".
"Haunting and beautiful...the songs are a cut above most… very well thought out and put together"~Steve Lemcke - Burlington Free Press
"Deliciously rootsy … as meaningful as it is melodic."~ Bob Makin - The Courier News
"This man can really sing! The songs are carefully crafted and range from pop/folk anthems to a number of masterful love ballads."~Robert Resnik - Seven Days Vermont
