Through sheer grit and undeniable talent, Kerryn Fields has worked her way to a solid place in Australia's folk music scene with recent standout performances at Cobargo Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Chill Out Festival and a coveted top-billed slot as Premier Artist at Australia's Midsumma Festival. Fields' ear-catching productions have lead music lovers all over to conclude that she truly is "one of Melbourne's great voices." – Tim Thorpe, Vital Bits RRR FM. Kerryn Fields weaves soulful influences with her own vivid tapestry beckoning you to embark on each tale with the folk whisperer. Inspired by great storytellers and musicians, it was Paul Kelly's song co-written with Kev Carmody, 'From Little Things Big Things Grow', that convinced Fields to move out of a haunted house in New Zealand, sell her Kombi van and buy a one-way ticket to Melbourne. Fields has played with some of Australia's favourite independent artists including Tash Sultana, Marlon Williams, Liz Stringer, Mojo Juju, and Suzannah Espie and is now independently touring Australia and New Zealand. Kerryn Fields is a folk singer a storyteller with an extraordinary voice and an exceptional way with words. Her huge personality and striking voice meld perfectly with her folk and alt-country stylings. Fields' debut album Rascal delves into the rawness of leaving your life behind for the unknown. Her towering personality and enslaving voice meld perfectly with each song a journey in it's own right. |
