Tyrants Always Fall as The Nields Arise

Nerissa and Katryna Nields

Our guest is Nerissa Nields, who shares equal lead billing with her sister, Katryna, of the group known as The Nields. Their website proclaims them to be "equal parts Beatles, Cranberries and Joni Mitchell", and that description is admirably accurate and concise. It's hard to adequately capture the power of their songs and voices except to tell you that you need to brace yourself to be inspired, moved, and likely brought to tears. We're only able to share a tiny fraction of the riches of their 21 albums in our show. Check Nerissa's personal site for info on her books and other creations. The Nields hail from Northampton, Massachusetts, and remember to check out Nerissa's enhanced version of America the Beautiful.
