Here's something special:  "Pop Culture Rodeo" (Richmond Magazine) pitted our show Friday night in Richmond against Ronny Cox's show.  *Obviously...Ronny nor I said any of this....But I'm flattered.   And I'm grateful to everyone in our corner who came out to see OUR show Friday night!
Dean Fields — I'd just like to say that I'm an up-and-coming artist who puts his heart and soul into every song. If you come to my show, you'll see how a man and a guitar have the power to stir you emotionally. I promise that at least once, you will be moved to tears.
Ronny Cox — I was in RoboCop. And Total Recall. Oh, and also Beverly Hills Cop. If you come to my show, I will sing and tell you stories about famous people that make you feel like part of Hollywood. You want to know what it's like to share a sandwich with Eddie Murphy? I got stories about Peter Weller and Howie Mandel you would not believe. You're not going to get that at a Dean Fields show. I was also in Deliverance. And don't even make me break out my TV résumé. Grizzly Adams?Fantasy IslandFamily Ties? You can't touch this.

My former teammate (William & Mary Track and Field) and Boston roommate Bryan Dunn is now playing piano for the Improv group Second City out of Chicago IL.  Their travels brought them to The Modlin Center in Richmond VA last weekend on what was supposed to be a weekend off from performing for me.  But, it turned out to be a very special night…  On their 3rd act, they asked me to come on stage and perform a few songs.  The plan was to play a song for them to then improvise a bit.  Its a shame there is no audio/video from it because it was a blast and a very unique experience.  I played L.A, Be Sweet to Me, Dandelion Rain, and On Its Way to You.  What ensued were skits about stalkers, mistaken Itunes Beatles catalog, and prancing jamba juice customers.  These folks make their way around the U.S.  Please do yourself a favor and check them out.  

I'll be coming around sans improv in September...less laughs...more music:
9/17: Charlotte NC
9/18: Columbia SC
9/19: Black Mountain NC (Asheville)
9/24: Vienna VA
9/25: Richmond VA

Trey and I recently went south to see some of you folks in NC and GA.  It was good to see everyone. We took some photos and have a live recording of the Eddie's Attic show.  I'm putting up a song from that set...haven't decided which yet. 
If you could be a fly on the window on the road with us you'd be bored to tears with geeky music talk during the day.  --and a trip to Best Buy for a coke??  But, something about the nighttime brings out a second wind from Trey....Endless jokes and impressions.  I'll spare you the written jokes...But he gives a pretty dead-on impression of this Eddie Murphy bit:



Before we left, I wrote the directions to the venue in Atlanta on one side of a piece of paper and the directions from the venue to my friend's house where we were staying (in an awesome spare bedroom...with breakfast and a baby meet and greet!...and perhaps the funniest baby photo with a likeness to Alfred Hitchcock ever).  digress....
We arrived in sunny ATL with time to spare...and we were greeted by a window wave from our friend Mieka who was also playing the show with us.  We tucked in behind Mieka as she passed.. We only had to get the last couple of turns to the venue. Sometime around then is when I smacked the directions from Trey's hands.  **this is important. 
So we're reading from our directions and following Mieka as well.  Until we reached a point in the directions where Mieka was signalling right but our directions said left.  At a crossroads...Trey and I were left to a quick decision.  I can't remember exactly what we said to one another...But it went something like "Mieka's gps is busted...clearly we turn left"  I think Trey may have said 'girls are dumb'...anyway.  So our two vehicles parted ways...a mile from the venue.  we drove...and droved....and droveded...signs looked very unfamiliar...sound check had come and gone.  Miles later we realize that things had gone awry.  'A-ha!'  We turned over the directions and backtrack to the venue. 

That night we opened for Bill Malonee and the Vigilantes of Love.  Great stuff.  Great folks.  We became fans. Catch them when you can. 
 
The next day somewhere in SC...We couldn't find a Chickfila....So we resigned ourselves to lunch at KFC.  Trey told me they once found a fried beak!!!!  I ordered 3......3 beaks please.




I'm sure there's more to recount.  I'll have Trey write if he can think of anything....Check back for the live songs from Eddie's.  If you want a copy of that show hit me up: dean@deanfields.com

We've got a northeast adventure in March...stay tuned.
be good or be safe,
Dean
