Fisher Wagg (Insta | Spotify)

Fisher has been writing ironic, atmospheric, and moving music since the age of 12. Many of his skills were found as a child touring with a local children's songwriters group around Chittenden County. Unlike the family-oriented work he was trained on, his songs spin tales of desire, dejection, depression, but also occasionally hope. Born in Virginia and raised in Vermont, he carries a folksy spirit with lyrics inspired by his surroundings, be it the ongoing enshittening of the world we once knew or the small quiet words we say to ourselves when we think no one can hear. Other times his music can be abstract, comparable to tape music or at times spoken word. After the release of The Year the Planes Came Down in 2014, he took an 8 year hiatus from performing. He returned in 2023 with a surprise release of The Year 2007, a 22 track collection of recordings he had made in years previous with a radioshack CTR-122 tape recorder. The release signified the abandonment of a concept album that never came to fruition. Additionally he released Leftovers which included alternately produced versions of some of his earlier songs as well as tracks that didn't mesh as well into TY2007.
