RICHIE FIELDS' BIO:

I’ve loved singing all my life but finding time for songwriting and singing wasn’t easy with job and family responsibilities on the front burner. My friends used to ask me what I was planning to do with the songs I was writing. I was able to say with a straight face that I hoped one day a song of mine might be heard on the radio…hopefully with me singing it!

Am I dreamer? You better believe it! I was raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with a very strong work ethic and it was instilled in me at an early age to “think big and shoot for the stars because if you miss you might still land on the moon”. I think Mom wanted me to be an astronaut! Dad always said, “I don’t care what you choose to be in your life but even if you become a ditch digger, be the best damn ditch digger there’s ever been”. Never could figure out what it was with Dad and ditches!

Anyway, with the support of my family, I made a huge decision on January 1, 2006 (yeah it was a New Year’s resolution) to pursue my passion for Country Music and I haven’t looked back since. By March of 2006 I cut my first demo CD at the Platinum Lab in Nashville. This helped me attract some good musicians and by May 2006 I had assembled a 6-piece band and we went to work on putting a 40-song show together. We booked 3 or 4 gigs on the strength of the demo and our promise that we would put on a good show. We played our first show in August 2006 and then we were fortunate enough to get booked at the premiere country venues in the tri-state area. We must have done something right because we immediately became part of the regular rotation at clubs that frequently feature national acts and we were also offered (and accepted) New Year’s Eve gigs at these same venues. The band has evolved over time and I’m proud to say I’ve been able to assemble some of the very best musicians in our region and our popularity has continued to grow very quickly!

I went back to the Platinum Lab in Nashville in March 2007 and began working on my debut CD “Man Enough To Cry” with Producer Jim Purdy. In my many trips into Nashville I got to meet and work with, not only a lot of great musicians, but also a lot of great people. Among the many great players you will hear on this CD were Larry Hanson on guitar (Alabama and also the proud father of rising star Jennifer Hanson), Dino Pastin ..s and harmonica (Alabama and Barbara Mandrell), Bryan White on drums (Recording Artist), the incomparable Johnny Hiland on lead guitar (too many credits to even begin mentioning), and the amazing Chris Carmichael on fiddle. In addition to songs written by me, I was also blessed to cut some songs by some of the very best Nashville songwriters in the business including Karen Staley (Keeper of the Stars…Tracy Byrd) and Wil Nance (She’s Everything…Brad Paisley). I also had the good fortune to work with Matt Kirkwold and James Harley of World Record Productions and they were a tremendous help in putting the final touches on the CD.

I’m a romantic at heart and a lot more sentimental than people might assume. Many people who have been kind enough to buy my CD have told me that two songs I wrote, “Man Enough To Cry” and “In A Place Like This”, have really touched them and that is the best reward I could possibly imagine as a songwriter because that is exactly what I’m hoping to do. I want to touch people with music that’s meaningful and make them think about what is really important in life. I’m told this is coming out in my songwriting more and more and I intend to just keep writing from the heart as I put together new material for my next CD. I’m confident the best is yet to come!

One thing I learned in working on my debut CD was that even though the Country Music business can be extremely competitive, there are an awful lot of very talented people out there who are very humble, have their egos in check, and are willing to do anything they can to help you succeed. Now if only that person that wants to take credit for discovering me and putting me on the radio would come along real soon I could avoid going to plan B…digging ditches! Seriously, I’m having a blast entertaining people and I’m glad people seem to appreciate the energy and passion I take to the stage every time I step out there. I really love talking with fans at our shows and I’m so thankful for all the people who have encouraged me and continue to believe in me!
