SONGWRITER & PERFORMER
DIRECT & ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATIONS OF AMERICAN ROOTS MUSIC
With 30 years of live performances under his belt, Brad Fielder is a well seasoned entertainer. Paying homage to the American experience, he makes folk music for all folks. It's quirky and relevant, old and new fashioned. While busking as a one-man-band or leading a full ensemble on a festival stage the mission remains the same: Bring the music to the people.
Brad’s songwriting inclinations towards nostalgia have informed his ostensible placement... whereas his musical idiom of choice is the template that comfortably straddles early ragtime, 12-bar barrelhouse blues, raggy hokum, cod-oriental and old-timey, as easy as breathing!
David Kidman, Folk London magazine
"Fielder’s playing is musical and nuanced, with gorgeous tone and subtle timing and sonority you have to hear in person to appreciate."
Chris J. Zähller, Mercury Photo Bureau
"Fielder is frequently lauded for his obvious grasp of traditionalist blues and the roots of Americana history, and that's on full display here. But it's nothing so boring or academic as a throwback style exercise."
Brett Fieldcamp, Oklahoma City Free Press
