Dean Fields with Lousiana Territory May 22, 2009

Originally from Mechanicsville, Virginia, Dean Fields was discovered by The Miami Herald’s Evelyn McDonnell at a songwriting event in Florida. “Go, so you can say you saw him when,” She wrote in the Miami Herald, “He sings with the tender high tenor of Tim Buckley and the plain-spoken poetry of Jim Croce." He was soon named “Best of Miami” by local press, picked to play at the premier of Billboard Live, bailed on graduate school and dedicated himself to performing and writing. “I just woke up one day and said, ‘screw this, all I want to do is play music.”
