BIO:
Ian Fisher traded his home state of Missouri for Europe at the age of twenty one and has been making music out of the distance between them ever since. 2027 marks his 25th year playing live and his 20th year recording. His nearly two thousand songs and 20 albums mix a rural Midwestern upbringing with a dark delicacy shaped by time well traveled. Endlessly touring Europe, North America, and Africa has forged a stage presence from a lifetime of showing up and meaning it: intense, intimate, and honest. You can hear the acoustic grit of an early Jeff Tweedy, the sentimentality of Townes Van Zandt, and the political leanings of Billy Bragg in what Rolling Stone calls "A world traveler's perspective on American folk-rock.” Fisher's shows reach back through decades of his time-tested repertoire and push forward with well-crafted new songs for our times. When he's not on the road, you'll find him writing between his studio in Vienna, Austria, and his family farm in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, USA.
