The Nields with Ed Dean Opening

To answer the question they pose in their beloved song “Easy People,” yes! The Nields have paid their dues, traveling to almost every state in the USA, garnering major and independent record and publishing deals, performing with 10,000 Maniacs, The Band, James Taylor, and the Indigo Girls, creating a new album roughly every year and a half, and above all, celebrating their 32-year relationship with their many loyal fans by participating in an ongoing conversation which has grown from Katryna’s cartoons in the band’s (first paper, now digital) newsletter to social media platforms to a weekly YouTube show.
