Sunfields @Rancho Relaxo
01.29.10

I love those Friday nights after a long work week when plans suddenly come together on the fly.  It was one of those evenings when I came across the melodic country/folk sounds of Sunfields at Rancho Relaxo, despite the bone marrow chilling temperature that night. 

Sunfields is the brainchild of frontman and lead singer Jason Kent from the Dears. For a relatively new band, you could sense they’re experience and maturity as musicians. From their solid vocal harmonies, grassroots country guitars and a touch of pop, you couldn’t help but listen.  Late in their set Jason put on an incredible trio piano set of melodic ballads that had a lot of potential to be a crowd favourite.  You could sense Neil Young, Wilco and Joel Plaskett in their music and couldn’t help but want to hear more.

Keep your eye out for these guys when they release their first album.
