William Fitzsimmons, recognizable by his long, Father Time-style beard and heart-wrenching folk ballads (you may have caught an earful on "Grey's Anatomy," "Brothers and Sisters," "Army Wives," "Teen Wolf," "Life of Ryan," "One Tree Hill," and "Jersey Shore" to name a few), is in the midst of a new wave of inspired songwriting now that he and his wife are raising an adopted baby girl. But that's not to say his new tunes won't still be thick with melancholy. "I would say it's absolutely changed me," the 34-year-old Pennsylvania-Illinois transplant says of fatherhood. "But when I look at the songs, I think there are some ghosts. I'd like to think I'm writing about what's going on right now. Some emotions are very broad. To me, it's pretty new. The people being written about before are not around anymore. But ghosts and demons, they stick to you."
