Pittsburgh is the sixth studio album to come from William Fitzsimmons, and is due for release in May.
The album's title track is every bit as enchanting as fans would expect. Speaking of the inspiration behind the record, Fitzsimmons said:
"My grandmother, Virginia, died October 15, 2014. She was born and raised in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The city of my youth. She gave the gift of music to my mother, and, from my mother, was thus passed to me. In that same month I returned home for three days to celebrate Virginia's life, mourn her passing, and help to lay her body to rest. These seven songs were born from those three days and are in memoriam to her passing and in remembrance of the city we shared. She will be perpetually missed. Until the day we meet again."
Pittsburgh will see release via Grönland Records on 18 May. William Fitzsimmons will perform at London's Scala on 11 August.
