fielding, a critically acclaimed indie folk band, have carved their own unique niche in the amply talented Southern California music scene since 2004. Featuring the songsmithing of frontman, Eric Fielding Balmer, pared with multi-instrumentalist, Beth Balmer, fielding has delivered two albums, the self titled “fielding,” and “The Voice of Us” – a bittersweet homage to Eric’s late grandmother, Wilda McGaha. With these two collections under their belts, and multiple TV placements, the two have garnered an avid following and considerable critical praise.

“fielding are the true American heroes.” – Rich Kane, OC Weekly
“…they’re much more akin to Doves, Coldplay, and The Verve. Comparisons schmarisons, they’re excellent…” – LA UNDERGROUND
