Her signature sound is a potent mix of lyricism and fire, heart-felt issues and tender constructions, rooted in folk but encompassing multiple genres. Like silk on gravel, Field has a unique textured blues infused voice and soulful vocal delivery style which sets her apart. Having dabbled in soul, blues and country in her third album and with strong elements of jazz coming through on her latest release, Josie is no ordinary folk musician, don’t be misled by the singer/songwriter tag. Earlier this year Josie Field’s latest release S’bongile was nominated for a South African Music Award. Her fourth offering is a completely indie acoustic album which includes some of her best work and embodies the magic of her stripped down acoustic show. Born from pure demand for a more acoustic representation of Josie’s sound, the album has delivered, S’bongile has a real organic feel. Stripped of a glossy full production, the warmth of Josie’s voice and lyrical style glides over tasteful guitars with hints of percussion. Lyrics have space to breath and it’s clear what an exceptionally talented songwriter Field is. Experience the intimate nature and soulful performance of one of South Africa’s most versatile and experienced singer songwriter.

Incredibly impressive singing and songwriting in a great venue. I hope Josie comes to CT more often now. Felt like I could have been sitting watching talent like that in NY or LDN, pinched myself to find such talent at home. Expect to do a lot more pinching
Definitely wood

Our first time at the Alexander Bar - Josie Field was incredible, great intimate space for watching a very personal performance - LOVED it!. The venue is stunning, great décor and slickly run with good service and a great selection of wine and bubble at the bar. We will DEFINATELY be back.
