The Nields bring tour to Lawrence
Special to the Kansan
When Bob McWilliams first saw the Nields in concert in 1995, he knew he had to bring them to Lawrence.
By Nicole Roche
The Nields have become known for their trademark sound, which Romanoff said is, "somewhere between Natalie Merchant and Dar Williams."
The duet will perform at the Crimson Cafe, creating a club atmosphere complete with stage and lights.
"I have seen them in concert six or seven times," said McWilliams, president of the nonprofit organization West Side Folk. "They are simply one of the best performers in the contemporary folk rock scene that I have ever seen."
The sisters' current college four is only four dates long, Romanoff said, because lead singer Katryna is six months pregnant.
The band has been building popularity over the years by touring nonstop and gaining radio play.
Part of this distinct sound results from the close relationship between the sisters.
"They just love playing colleges," Romanoff said. "I would say that 70 percent of their audience is college students."
Now McWilliams has the cifance to see them again this time in Lawrence
"This is the first time we have ever had a concert on campus, so it's kind of an experiment," McWilliams said, "but we'd like to bring in more cutting-edge rock performers in the future."
Nerissa and Katryna Nields, sisters who make up the acoustic folk rock band, will be performing at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Burge Union.
"There is nothing like harmony between sisters," Romanoff said. "They have been singing together since they were able to talk."
Patty Romanoff, the Nields manager, has been working with the band for seven years and has seen them through their eight studio albums, including the 2000 release 'If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Now.'
"We've been getting a lot of radio air play in Lawrence," Romanoff said. "They've wanted us to come here for a long time."
