About Me:
Ricky Fitzpatrick is fast becoming one of the industry's most notable performing songwriters, as critics have long hailed him as "the next James Taylor", with a gift for smart lyrics and catchy melodies and a voice that's "as smooth as moonshine". Fans of artists like John Mayer, Shawn Mullins and even Bob Dylan, John Prine and Tom Waits are falling in love with what some are calling the next great singer/songwriters to hit the scene. Myspace recently posted Ricky as one of the Top 50 Acoustic Artists in the US for North Georgia and one of the Top 100 Folk artists in the state of GA, adding yet one more reason for a growing number of fans to get to know this star on the rise.

Sounds Like:
"A mellow-smart James Taylor vibe with the poetic soul of a Southernized Bob Dylan."
"John Mayer meets the Black Crowes"
"I was looking for artists who sound like James Taylor. While there are definite comparisons, Ricky has the vocal range of a great male country singer while is able to appeal to all fans of honest acoustic music from John Mayer to Neil Young, tipping a pick to John Denver somewhere along the way."
