Below are segments from Episode #5 of the series, Artist’s Entrance, which features singer-songwriter performances and on-stage interviews about the stories behind the songs. Tracy’s questions… their stories & stuff.

Tracy’s guest this evening is ROBERT MORGAN FISHER – a singer, songwriter, guitarist, composer, and author. His album NOTES FOR A NOVEL (2012) rose to the top of the folk charts where it remained for almost two years. His song “Don’t You Wanna Go to Mars?” was named Hollywood Music in Media Folk Song of the Year for 2012 and is currently winging its way to the red planet onboard the Maven Rocket. JPL uses the song to wake the Mars Rover! Two of his songs, “Jester King” and “We’ll Buy a Flag,” went to #1 on the Neil Young Living with War Songs of Our Times Chart.

A self-described Narrative Engineer, his short fiction has appeared in Zero-Dark-Thirty, The Huffington Post, Psychopomp, Golden Walkman Magazine, The Spry Literary Journal, 34th Parallel, Carnival, The Snake Nation Review, The Seattle Review, Spindrift, BlueRailroad and other publications. He’s written for TV, radio, and film, and voices audiobooks. Robert holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University and teaches in their online program. He often writes companion songs to his short stories. Both his music and fiction have won many awards.

“A terrific writer in general. He’s an award winner short story writer. But I know him as a masterful songwriter. His song from the POV of a guitar – “A Life in Music” – is one of the best ever. I wish I had written it. You will see/hear him do it on my series Artist’s Entrance, or you can just look it up. You won’t be disappointed.” ~ TRACY
