Kerryn Fields performs on 94.9 JOY FM’s Kiss My Arts!
Posted on 24. Jan, 2012 by Kerryn in News
On a hot n sticky Melbourne night with the firecrackers from Chinese New Year cracking and banging through the studio window, Kerryn Fields joined Amy and Kylan for Joy FM’s ‘Kiss My Arts’ to share a few stories (including the tale of the ‘mithing toof’..) and sing a couple of songs..
Amy had just been to see Kerryn play for the first time at Midsumma Festivals ‘Goddess Groove’s and had this to say:
“The tingles started to appear the moment Kerryn Fields stood up with guitar in hand and harmonica at the ready. At around 6 foot, she really commands the stage, demands your attention and starts distributing those damn goosebumps! You know the ones you get when you hear something really moving…I was mesmerized by her first song” – Amy 94.9 JOYFM (Kiss My Arts)
Here’s Kerryn Fields peformance of ‘Just Because’ on Kiss My Arts:

MERRY CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL SEASON!
So much has happened since the last email update sent all the way back in October, and I bet you can’t wait to tell me all about it! Not enough time! Christmas Christmas Christmas!
By my calculations, you’ll be that far over any other email containing work business and grown up talk, that this little update should come at a good time to appear as if you are reading those emails, but instead here you are chilling out in the email lounge of Kerryn Fields. There’s also beer in the fridge. Help yourself.
October marked the release of the Kerryn Fields and Branches of Life EP which was made in partnership from Somer from www.branchesoflife.com.au, who helped with the cost of production and will also be taking the CD’s to the many festivals and events she goes to selling her trinkets and treasures from third world countries. We’re pretty chuffed with our work of love, and have been busy getting into the hands of everyone we can! Profits from this album go to www.rovolunteers.com Reach Out Volunteers in Africa.
These songs will be available on ITunes, and there will be more new release material available mid January for a brand New Year playlist!
Got a healthy line up of gigs to indulge in over the Festival Festivities season, this Friday I’m joining good friends Lamarama for a mad jam fusion of folk and fun at The Edinburgh Castle, Friday 23rdDecember. I’ll be bringing the charming Andy Fumburger on drums and Mitchell Jon on guitar. Both superstar musicians – can’t wait to show em off to you tomorrow night!
Not forgetting our friends and fans in Geelong, I’m belting out a few good numbers at the XMAS EVE BASH, Barwon Heads Hotel in Geelong and will be hitting the stage at around 7.50pm on Christmas Eve.
This marks the end of the Kerryn Fields year of performing in 2011, resting and kicking back with snuggles galore over Christmas – New Year, then hitting the stage with good friends The Emma Wall Band for Wine, Whiskey, Women at The Drunken Poet – Wednesday 4th January 8pm.
A few more gigs to bite into mid January (Details all dutifully listed below..!) then I’m off to New Zealand early Feb and hope to be playing a few sets as we travel both North and South Islands catching our many sprinkles of family and friends along the way.
I have smash pack slam dunk crazy busy, gigging most nights of the week, jamming in the bungalow and having my wicked way with many places and pubs across Victoria in the past few months, so will spare the written word and make sure that we get to have a good old fashioned yarn leaning over a brew the next time I see you.
Lots to say, lots to love – lots of things for you to get through, so go get doing them so you can squeeze in a little fun with me before the New Year.
I am very humbled by the people who have come on board the Kerryn Fields train this year, and even more so by the people continuing to stick around, coming along to gigs, and all my friends who continue to love me despite being a total social recluse and only seeing them down the barrel of a microphone.. And charging them for it. Teehee. Thanks for an awesome year of love and laughter, it’s been fabulous.
Have a very merry, beautiful, wonderful, magical Christmas and New Year, drive safe, hugs lots, cry heaps, say please and thank you, and be kind to yourself – you’re not fat, you aren’t ugly, and you should most definitely eat every f**king thing on the Christmas table. And then some.
Cheers and Happy Christmas
Xxxxx Kerryn Fields
PS – Here’s some Happy Christmas You Tubes – both songs are on the Kerryn Fields & Branches of Life EP, filmed this week to say a big huge thanks for being so rad and reading all the way through to the end. You’ll also be the first to hear 2 new songs after Christmas….
