Stone Soup Coffeehouse Presents Meg Hutchinson and Ryan Fitzsimmons December 6, 2008

Meg Hutchinson was raised in the small town of Great Barrington, Massachusetts by English teachers, so it is no surprise that she is a writer with an uncanny perceptiveness about the natural world and the human condition. Performing Songwriter called her “A master of introspective ballads filled with understated yearning and an exquisite sense of metaphor.” Garnering a loyal following during the last few years, Meg Hutchinson has won fans through her lyric-driven folk/pop songs and riveting live performances.

Originally from Syracuse New York, Ryan Fitzsimmons first gained attention at age 14 playing lead guitar in an alternative rock band called Anodyne which was nominated for a Syracuse Area Music Award (SAMMY). But after performing in a number of electric bands, Ryan decided to give up the amplifiers to see what he could do with just wood and steel and voice. It seems that his choice paid off, as Ryan was nominated for Best Folk Act in the Providence Phoenix Best Music Poll for 2004. He went on to win the 2007 “Best Male Vocalist” award in the same poll, and has gained many other accolades along the way. From Montana to New England, Ryan has been engaging audiences with his distinctive songwriting and dynamic performances.

Two area musicians, great songwriting and performing artists - this is a show that is not to be missed!
