Bio:
Rachel Fields - Lead vocals, Guitar, Flute. Born in Pine Bluff, AR began singing and playing piano by ear at age 2. Made transition to playing flute at age 11 as it was the least expensive instrument in the band room. At 18 Rachel went to AMDA (American Musical and Dramatic Academy) in NYC where her vocal talents were discovered. After a moderate stay in Branson and several early bands it had become apparent that writing songs, singing, and accompanying herself on guitar was going to be her future. Rachel has toured and sang with JGB (Jerry Garcia Band) and has worked with several Bay Area greats such as Stu Hamm, Jim Bogious, Joel Smith, members of Big Brother and the Holding Company and Jefferson Starship, she has opened for bands such as: Dave Nelson Band, Merl Saunders and The Rainforest Band, Gov’t Mule, Wide Spread Panic, and The 4 Tops.
Rachel’s unique style of singing and powerful stage presence has been compared to performers such as, Joe Cocker, Stevie Nicks, Natalie Merchant and yes, Janis Joplin. Expressing a wide range in her song-writing styles from sensually spiritual ballads to hard hitting knock-your-socks off rhythm and blues. Rachel Fields has proven to be the fearless leader of the Rachel Fields band. A truly unique experience.
Jeff Coley - guitar. Born in blues capitol Memphis, TN. later moved to small-town Arkansas. He got his first electric guitar and amp at a pawnshop on Beale Street (Thank-you Dad and Grandma). Influenced by rock greats, Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, and Eric Johnson. Jeff also began playing by ear at a very young age. He has become a legend in his hometown and surrounding area after fronting several local bands. His flavor-full guitar licks help to develop and define the sound of RFB’s original arrangements. …….Bios Continued on next page……
Russell Rose - keyboards. Born Chicago, IL now living deep in the woods of the Ozarks. Began playing piano at age 8 immediately traded piano for a Lowrey Organ. Spent many years on the road as a true “dead head” while exploring many musical and visual art forms. His musical influences are Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Ray Charles and Elton John. Loves to jam in the style of the Grateful Dead and Phish. He is truly an artist.
John Roberts - percussion. Born in Frankfurt Germany, moved to Pine Bluff Arkansas. He started playing drums at the age of 12 in his Jr. high school band. Recruited his junior year of High school for the U.S. Army band. Influenced by Steve Gabd, Buddy Rich and Carter Beauford. John has played with various bands across the southeastern U.S. His flavorful rhythms set the music into motion.
Zach Carpenter Aka “Snoopy” – Bass. Born in Tulsa Oklahoma To a family of musicians, Zach had his sights set on playing guitar at age 5 but had to wait until the age of thirteen when he could purchase his first guitar with his paper route money. At 14 he was asked to play bass in a local band and has never looked back. Influenced by Jazz, Punk and Ska music, Zach’s popping bass riffs are yet another wild ingredient in the recipe that is the “Rachel Fields Band”
