About The Artist
Paisley Fields wants to know — in stretched out audio, in hyperpop gibberish, in plain voice, and in song — Are U Mad At Me?
He's kidding, of course. Because it's obviously easier to giggle and keep things fun and flirty, lest someone lets life get a little too real.
But somewhere in the fields and the farms and the line dances of rural Iowa, the ghosts of Fields' scared, closeted childhood are still wondering…
Are U Mad At Me, due out May 1st via Don Giovanni Records, marks a huge, cowboy boot-wearing step for the Brooklyn-based songwriter. Fields proves that genre is as fluid as sexuality, as the album saunters across country, pop, disco, grunge, and classical with ease. Across 12 tracks, Fields traverses bangers like power pop lead single "Party Girl" and two-stepping second single "Hands Off The Hat" (co-written with Grammy award-winning songwriter Melody Walker) all the way to tragic ballads like "Apalachicola to Tallahassee" (co-written with Karen Pittelman of Karen & The Sorrows) and the closing "Uncle Charlie's." He makes light of gender-neutral bathrooms marked with unicorns instead of stick figures in the guitar-driven "Pronoun Meltdown" and calls out a husband cheating on his wife with another man in the tragicomic ballad of "You Should Tell Your Wife."

Seating
Unless otherwise noted or you've purchased a specific seat via our seating chart, all seating at shows are available on a first-come first-served basis. This includes those acoustic/listening room "all seated" shows that do not have seating charts (some do) and all full-band shows that do not have seating charts (only a few do). All seating is a mix of tall stools and tables as well as shorts chairs with tables - about the same quantity of each. Please email us with questions of special mobility needs at [email protected].
