To all my readers and fans,
I must confess, I’ve been sort of s state of shock during the past weeks. Not just because all the shows have been curtailed or because not just the music business but the whole world has come to a halt, but because we are all facing as a human race what can be called a modern “911” health crisis. With the exception of the Spanish flu, we haven’t been in this situation in modern times.
I’ve been focusing on my family, glued to the TV and not focusing on music. Being that my family and I live in lower Manhattan, we are arguably in the center of the hot zone. I will say that I am not scared or worried about staying in NYC. Even though I have seen many of my fellow New Yorkers not observe social distancing like they should. New Yorkers are resilient and being that I was born and raised here (also in NJ!) I will not be scared away.
I WILL BE SENDING OUT AN ANNOUNCEMENT SOON ABOUT DAVE FIELDS FACEBOOK LIVE OR OTHERWISE SHOWS
Also, I will be making an announcement HOPEFULLY soon about the CD release date for my upcoming CD FORCE OF WILL.
THE FOLLOWING SHOWS HAVE BEEN CANCELED:
Apr 3rd Lyran, Rockford IL
Apr 4th Knuckledown Saloon, Madison WI
Apr 5th Viking Club Moline IL
Apr 9th Victors, 500 Commerce St Hawthorne NY
Apr 11th The Soundbank, Pheonixville PA
Apr 16th Stanhope House
Apr 23rd Debonair Music Hall, Teaneck NJ
Apr 24th Daddy Jacks
Apr 25th Nelson’s Candies, Wilton NH
I will stay in touch, thanks for reading this. I know that WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS.
Please, please, stay safe during these most challenging times. I am sending my prayers to each and every one of you.
Huge hugs (from six feet!)

NYC NIGHTS Video just released
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by davefieldsHi everyone! There’s so much going on!
I’ve just released a new video of my song New York City Nights (which is from my current CD UNLEASHED). The video depicts what life is like at night here in lower Manhattan during the Covid 19 pandemic. It was shot entirely on my iPhone 8 by my son Jasper and I. I had the idea to do a video of this song for a while. I finally decided with the situation as it is with the virus, to do something that reflects what my hometown is going through. PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!

Hey, YOU CAN DRINK ALL YOU WANT, YOU’RE NOT DRIVING ANYWHERE HA! Pull up a chair, pour a drink and hang out with me, we are both going to be in our living rooms?!

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2kCf9JedeCUV8d8Pe_KXQQ
While you’re there please subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven’t done so already!
Special guest Jasper Fields! I will be playing some songs from my upcoming CD “Force of Will” as well as many other. If you have a request, let me know! I would love to hear from you!
I’m closing in on a release date of my upcoming CD Force of Will. I will be making an announcement about that date soon!
Not to be complaining, living here on the lower east side I’ve noticed many people when they go out wearing masks and many not wearing masks and congregating in close proximity to one another. I’m not a health expert or a virologist but if what the experts are saying is true we all should heed their warnings otherwise this virus will hang around longer and personally, I’m done with it LOL!!!
Please everyone stay safe and healthy.

YouTube Live Thur Apr 23rd!

YouTube Live Thur Apr 23rd!
Hi everyone!
Well… I was supposed to be playing at Debonair Music Hall in Teaneck NJ April 23rd with my American band. Instead I’m going to come to you solo from my lower east side Manhattan studio this Thursday April 23rd. Special guest, Jasper Fields, he’s 14 years old! Show time will be 2pm NY time 8pm Oslo time. I know that’s early for all you US fans, however I wanted to do something special for all my friends in Europe and they will be able to see the show at a decent hour.
Here’s the link:
https://youtu.be/mxHMpGqHXYE
I have to tell you, even though I’m not driving anywhere or moving any gear, it’s still a LOT of work to put on one of these shows! I put a lot of thought into what I’m going to play and then I practice it so I don’t suck LOL!!! It’s obviously different when you play solo which is why I will be playing to some tracks that I have specially created just for this show AND I’m planning some other cool things for this show. If you have any requests, please email me back.
Also, I’m making the big push to get more subscribers on my YouTube channel. My goal is to get to 1,000 subscribers by the end of May so please, if you haven’t done so already, subscribe to my YouTube channel!
CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE DAVE FIELDS YOUTUBE CHANNEL
I apologize for the technical difficulties with the last show and I want to thank all of you that patiently checked it out. I’ve been putting in extra time to make sure that never happens again. I’ve turned my small 5’x12’ recording studio into a YouTube live studio and it’s not as easy as I was hoping it would be. The lighting, the streaming, the audio… my vision is to make it look as if you were seeing and and hearing in a music venue, not like I’m just sitting on couch (although I can do that! LOL!)
I will be posting new videos every week for the forseeable future. I have four new live videos with my band ready to go when FORCE OF WILL gets released, which is looking like sometime in June.
YOUR SUPPORT MEANS SO MUCH! HUGE, HUGE HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!!!
Stay safe and healthy!

YouTube Live shows
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by davefieldsHi Everyone!
I want to thank those of you who checked out my Aries Birthday YouTube live show! There was an issue with the link when the show started. I know that many of you could not watch the show. In case you missed it here is the link:
https://youtu.be/HSselmzpRa0?t=741
On a personal note, not that my newsletters are not personal! My family: Judy, my son Jasper and I have been riding it out here in the center of the Coronavirus storm on the lower east side. Being a native New Yorker, there are many things that annoy me and thrill me about this amazing city that we live in. Most recently it’s nice to see how people have been taking social distancing and wearing masks to heart. We are truly a team as a nation now working together to get past this pandemic. I’m wishing every one of you readers that you stay safe and healthy through this tragic era in our history.
Also, I will be announcing a special YouTube live “From NYC” afternoon show that will be geared for my European fans. Stay tuned for info on that!
Again, stay safe. I plan to see you all when this virus passes.
Huge hugs from six feet away.

YouTube live from NYC Fri April 3rd
/0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by davefieldsIt’s another week here sequestered in the lower east but for most of us throughout the world, we are all going to be confined to our homes for a little while. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t still have a Dave Fields show LOL!
This Friday April 3rd, 8pm EST (GMT-4) (NY time), I will be doing my first ever YouTube live show direct from my living room on the lower east side! I will be SOLO. However, I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I must confess I’m a little nervous! I hope I get the lighting and sound right. It’s just ME no sound man, no lighting person, JUST ME! Whatever happens, it’s going to be fun and in these trying times we could all use a little fun.
Click this link at 8pm this Friday to join the fun:

BTW, I was supposed to be in Rockford IL Friday and then Madison WI and then ending in Moline IL so hopefully this will make up for it!
Please come and be part of the fun. I’m excited to entertain you via YouTube. Hey, what else am I going to do???!
