New England folk singer Ian Fitzgerald @ Electric Maid w/Kipyn Martin & Aaron Tinjum
Since 2004 Ian Fitzgerald has performed extensively throughout New England and independently released four albums of original material. Ian's compelling lyrics and indelible melodies have won him first place in the Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest and earned him a Quad Showcase performance at the 2013 Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) Conference. Performer Magazine called Ian "a polished songsmith who is high atop a field of great artists breaking through to festival and folk concerts throughout the States."
Kipyn Martin is an emerging Mid-Atlantic singer/songwriter whose roots sink into the banks of the Shenandoah River. Her voice is gathering a reputation in the region, hailed by listeners as "an instrument of unrefined purity" (Tony S. - Leicester Bangs) and "the most pure voice I ever heard" (Karin Fuller - The Charleston Gazette). Kipyn was a semi-finalist in the 2013 UK Song Contest and won both the Director's Choice Award and Gold Award (Open category) in the 2013 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.
