Annie Fitzgerald, Live at the Hastings Arts Center

A Minnesota native, Singer-Songwriter Annie Fitzgerald has been noted for her ability to empathize with the listener with her remarkable knack for writing songs that stick with you long after they’ve last played.  Combining the most beloved attributes of fellow Folk-Americana Singer-Songwriters like Patty Griffin and Shawn Colvin, Fitzgerald’s guitar-based songs and performances are a constant paradox of the striking and the subtle. Already heralded as an artist to watch by the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame with just two records released to date, she is making her mark with a simple perspective and an irresistible style. After 10 years living in NYC, she and her family have relocated back to her roots to be close to family as they raise their young son. They’re enjoying their new-found sense of Minnesota space and freedom, and a new album is in the works. The gifted musicians Mark Keating (http://www.markkeatingmusic.com/) and Ben Woolman (http://benwoolman.net/) will be joining Annie for an evening of original songs and some favorite covers. 

“A regular on the New York City Indie scene, Annie Fitzgerald is known in several major US cities as an entrancing performer with a voice that draws you, wraps its arms around you, and just won’t let go. Her songs tackle the little moments in life, drawing the significance of each out into the light in songs that flow like water.” –Wildy’s World
