Lee Fields is a legendary funk and soul singer whose powerful voice and remarkable career longevity have earned him comparisons to James Brown and Wilson Pickett. Born in North Carolina in 1951, Fields began recording in the late 1960s, cutting raw funk singles that later became prized by record collectors. After experimenting with electronic music and blues during the 1980s and early ’90s, Fields returned to deep funk and soul in the late ’90s—a sound he has remained faithful to ever since. Known for his electrifying live performances and deeply emotional delivery, Lee Fields stands as one of the last great soul artists still touring and recording at the height of his powers. Fields will be performing in Indianapolis on October 15.
