Over the course of his career, William Fitzsimmons has made his living writing a specific brand of honest and inward-looking folk songs that fearlessly and candidly examine the evolving self while dexterously communicating his talent for robust melodies and catchy instrumentation. Fitzsimmons has released nearly a dozen full-length, EP, and live records of profound and intensely personal material. When it comes to his song-writing, nothing in his private life is off limits: he has written about being raised by disabled parents, experiencing two divorces, adopting his two children, and working with the mentally ill as a mental health therapist prior to his music career. Ready the Astronaut was a powerful testament to his own past, and by weaving his story through the familiar tale of Icarus, he illustrated his willingness to accept his life’s highs and lows by paying tribute to the influence they have on the future. No Promises: The Astronaut's Return includes many alternate versions of the songs from Ready The Astronaut in addition to two new songs that were not available previously.
