Jimmy Fitch
I know it has been quite a while since music Monday has existed… But here it is! This weeks featured artist is country music singer-songwriter, Jimmy Fitch. A few weekends ago, a bunch of friends from Chesapeake were in town to celebrate an engagement. The Friday night before the celebration, the Willard porch was bumping. At one point there was like 30 people gathered around our broken patio furniture sitting and laughing. We were all having a great time, and then, there came Jimmy Fitch. Jimmy showed up covered in mud and grinning from ear to ear. He politely introduced himself and explained that he lived across the street and wanted to introduce himself because he always sees us out on the porch. Somehow in conversation, Jimmy revealed to us that he was a country singer. Suddenly two guitars appeared and before anyone knew what was happening, Jimmy was singing away. Hours passed, and by 2am, there were three guitars and a mandolin being strummed on our porch. And to top it all off, Jimmy is sick at harmonica. We sang along to famous country songs, some of Jimmy’s own songs, and a whole slew of Young Life club songs. It was a beautiful thing. 20 grown men belting out Free Fallin’ at 2 in the morning is not at all commonplace. Thanks Jimmy, for an awesome night. The Willard House (or surfboard house as he called it) will certainly never forget it.
Check out Jimmy Fitch’s facebook band page (http://www.facebook.com/jimmyfitchmusic) It features some cover songs as well as originals. My favorite is one of Mr. Fitch’s own songs, entitled “On the Road.” It features some well-written lyrics, good ole country twang, and Jimmy ripping on the harmonica. Jimmy is a country music singer-songwriter with an incredible country music voice. I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear Jimmy on the radio some day. Also! Hopefully Jimmy will open up for Bison (http://www.facebook.com/Bisonfolk) at Hallowillard Hoedownween this year.
Speaking of which, its on October 28th this year, and everyone’s invited.
