"Unlike our live concerts, there is no admission fee for this online one. However, like other performing artists, The Nields have had most of their gigs cancelled, are unable to tour now and would appreciate donations via their online tip jar while you are viewing the concert.”

Nerissa and Katryna Nields have been making, performing and recording their special brand of infectious, quirky and emotive songs professionally for more than 30 years. The Nields have been favorites at the annual Falcon Ridge Folk Festival for many years and have also impressed FMSH audiences with their sibling harmonies and folk-rock sound. Once a five-member indie folk-rock band, The Nields streamlined to become, in essence, a duo, a number of years ago. The Nields have released 20 albums to date. Its latest CD, November, is a collection of songs focused on current socio-political issues. Since becoming mothers (each sister has a daughter and son), Nerissa and Katryna Nields have broadened their repertoire with children’s CDs, a DVD and a book -- All Together Singing in the Kitchen: Creative Ways to Make and Listen to Music as a Family. More information may be found on their website, www.nields.com.

The Zoom After-Party (For FMSH Members Only) will begin shortly after the Livestream Concert ends.
