Armed with a guitar and a suitcase, Renny Field has spent much of the past few years on the road, plying his craft at every available opportunity and drawing inspiration from the people and places he has encountered along the way. From the lonely hotels of regional NSW to the street stages of Berlin and the songwriter rooms of London and Dublin, he has held court with audiences the world over and felt elation and exhaustion in equal measures. His latest album "Fieldnotes" is an open account of these experiences and undoubtedly the truest reflection yet of his life as a touring artist. Written in Ireland and recorded in Australia with good friend and producer Kent Eastwood, the album is musically uplifting, lyrically engaging and at times disarmingly honest, hallmarks of Field's craft which have remained constant over the years. Though his thirst for adventure knows no bounds, life on the road has its ups and downs, all of which make for a compelling tale that he is only too happy to share with the rest of us... "Songwriting for me isn't about presenting myself in a certain type of way, trying to play the right type of music, trying to craft an image which may or may not be successful. It's about making a connection with an audience and helping them get to know me a bit better. The real me. I've got so many stories from my time on the road, some of them scarcely believable, and a lot of my songs have been born out of these experiences - both good and bad. My music is my life in that sense, and that's what people can expect when they come to see me perform."
