"Fenwick combines inspiring technical ability with real stories to tell. He creates music with many layers, it makes you think while you're tapping your feet and enjoying great music." Kevin Griffin, Tricycle Music
FENWICK BIO
For Fenwick Macmillan, all the struggle, sadness, victories and joy have brought him here, to this fine place in his life. It is a joyful and sad place in the same. It’s a result of losing friends and relatives, growing a loving family, learning new things about life and sharing these experiences with others in music.
In November of 2005, Fenwick returned to writing and performing music after a ten year hiatus from the Boston music scene. His time away from playing music regularly allowed him the space and commitment to start a family and gain experiences worthy of song. In the 2006/2007 winter, and at the age 40, Fenwick plans to release is very first solo album titled “Bullies of B Street”. It’s a collection of songs that firmly displays where he is and how he got here.
After cutting his teeth with bands like the Ian Fenwick Project and the Derailers in the late 80 and early 90s, Fenwick has been creating solo performer music, Vocals accompanied by acoustic guitar. While mostly performing solo these days he is occasionally joined by family members in shows. “It stripped down a bit” he says of his new brand of song. Much simpler from what my friends and fans might expect from me.
Fenwick, his wife Ursula (a former Derailer and accomplished session singer) and their two children, Will & Jack live just outside of Boston MA. Together they run Café Blue Hills, a monthly acoustic music concert venue in Milton MA that aims to bring original music by local artists to their community and raise awareness and funds to support worthy charities.: www.cafebluehills.org
