Later in the month, Fields and his six-piece band will hit the west coast and return to NYC for a headlining show at
Irving Plaza on Saturday, January 7 with Big Crown label-mates
Lady Wray and Paul & The Tall Trees.
Lee Fields & The Expressions will then hit Europe before returning to the States through the spring. A full list of tour dates can be found on the website with U.S. dates below.
These announcements can't be made without heartbreak as Lee and the band lost a dear friend over the weekend. "We are so saddened to hear of the passing of our great friend Miss Sharon Jones," says the band. "Lee and Sharon have been great friends since their first recording session over 20 years ago. Many of the expressions have had the honor of performing with Sharon and continue to draw inspiration from her music. We are heart broken to hear this news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. The world lost a bright light but the soul of her music will burn forever."
It's hard to find another active singer today that has the background
Lee Fields does: a first release in 1969, records on thirteen different labels, and close to 47 years of music making, touring, and recording. With such a seasoned past, it's amazing that the musician and artist, Lee Fields, a North Carolina native, is as busy and focused as ever. Backed by The Expressions and their incomparable soul-sound musicianship, Lee Fields' Special Night holds court with any soul music that came before it while evolving and pushing the limits of the genre into the current musical landscape.
