william fitzsimmons / rosi golan | lestat’s coffee house, san diego | concert photography

if you follow me on facebook or have had a conversation with me over the last 2 years or so about music, you know just how much i love william fitzsimmons‘ music. i stumbled onto him one day, shortly before the birth of our little girl, and my musical world was changed forever. the songs he writes have such lyrical depth paired with inspired melodies that seriously overwhelm your senses. i know that sounds like a lot of words, but i am not exaggerating at all. try him out.

the extra bonus for the night was that he was paired with rosi golan, another singer/songwriter extraordinaire. they have done vocals for each other’s songs on their albums and their voices go together like … well… do you like peanut butter and jelly? do you like bagels and lox? use any of those or other pairings and you will know what i mean.

the show was at this little gem of a place in san diego called lestat’s coffee house. i have been to my fair share of shows in that area, but had never been here. what an intimate setting it was. made the experience that much better.

let’s get to the photos, shall we?

jake phillips, a friend of both rosi and william’s, played and sang all night in support. i admit, i got a little excited when he finally picked up the banjo.

performing rosi’s tune “hazy”. find this and purchase it on itunes. this song has easily cracked my top 50 songs of all-time by any artist.

for their final song of the set, they unplugged and came right out into the middle of us all to sing one of my all-time faves by william: “good morning” (another one you should check out)

one last shot of william… i will be sure to catch his show every time he is local from here on out. period.

so i was a lucky fan and got a signed copy of his set list. here it is, pictured in my little girl’s crib. you see, not only do i love his music, but my little girl has basically been listening to him since her first days home with us almost 2 years ago. so his music is a big part of my life. thank you, william…
