This marks a new era for Dave Fields – I’m so excited to announce I have signed a deal with Fodera Guitars! I will be playing their new guitar, the Emperor Guitar: http://www.fodera.com/emperor-classic-guitar/ I anticipate getting mine sometime no later than September.

I have known the owners Joey Lauricella and Vinny Fodera for decades and Jason DeSalvo is my new buddy. Being a New Yorker, it’s only fitting that I play a guitar built in New York, Brooklyn to be specific. Fodera is carrying the torch for the great NY luthiers such as DeAngelico and D’Aquisto. This is a great honor for me ti be part of that lineage AND I can’t wait to set my hands on the guitar when it’s done. I will be sending you updates with my Newsletter as its coming along!

Wow! The past week has been a whirlwind! Four shows in a row plus traveling!

My first show of this Norway West Coast Tour at Grå Bar was my show show ever in Trondheim Norway. Trondheim is beautiful city and visiting Nidaros Cathedral, which is the northern most cathedral in the world, was a powerful experience. I loved meeting so many new people from Trondheim.

Our next show was in Molde at Dockside. Its ALWAYS so much fun to play in Molde and the blues fans from Molde showed up en masse.

The next day we drove to play The Easter Blues Festival in Valldal. Wow…. Valldal is BREATH TAKING! I want to go back there one day soon!

Then on Easter we played at Smutthullet Pub in Ålesund (a 100 percent rock n roll club). I was so happy to see that on Easter Sunday blues fans from all over the Ålesund area and beyond came out. It was a BLAST!

Lastly, Morten Nordskaug who is playing bass with me has been outstanding and Kåre “Lefty” Amundsen has been a force to be reckoned with. I love playing with them and they will both be in the US in a few weeks.

I am so looking forward to this week when I return to the FJORDLINE Cruise and then a show for the first time ever in Sandefjord:
