The show is all ages, and admission is one bottle of Dawn soap.

After a very long time, our new record Bridging the Gap is now available on CDBaby.com and iTunes.

Our first record When the Night Falls... is almost completely sold out. Only a few copies are floating around on CDBaby.com, and when they are gone, it will only be available on iTunes. As of right now, we have no plans to re-press this album.

We we be playing at Up or On the Rocks in Hartford, CT with Addison Station and the Brian Jarvis Band. Click here to purchase tickets online. The show is 18+ ...we don't have a lot of shows that admit people under 21, so if you're between 18 and 20 this is your chance to see us live.

Eric Danton of the Hartford Courant wrote a review of our new record "Bridging the Gap." You can read the review here.

Our next show at the Hungry Tiger (9/26) will feature Jim Townsend of Article 19 on sitting in on the drums. Don't worry folks, Chris Bowes will be back behind the drumset on our next gig.

The performance at the Hebron Harvest Fair this Friday, September 11th marks the third anniversary of Columbia Fields' formation. Since that first performance, we've released two studio albums and one live CD/DVD and we've performed all over the northeastern US.

At the fair we'll be performing songs from our recently released album Bridging the Gap, our 2007 release When the Night Falls..., and a few extra surprises here and there. The show is all ages and begins at 6PM with our friends Grady Season starting the show, we will hit the stage at 8PM. Hope to see you there.

We would like to thank everyone who came out to our release party last night - we had a blast, and it was wonderful seeing you all there.

After a lot of hard work and time our NEW CD is done. So come celebrate the release of our Newest master piece on Fri Aug 28th at Up or on the Rocks in Downtown Hartford. And while your their pick up your copy hot off the presses. See you there......

Hey everyone,

We've been listening to the final mixes of our new record for the past few weeks, and words cannot express how proud and excited we are about it.

Along with the four core members of Columbia Fields, this record features Alan Veniscofsky of Rane on electric guitar. Alan's played a few shows with us over past few months and his unique brand of atmospheric lead guitar playing has really broadened our sound. Alan will be sitting in with the band on select shows this year, so be sure to check us out to see the expanded CF lineup.

We're sending the CD out to get mastered, and then printed - stay tuned for more info on the CD release party.

Hey Everyone,

Get ready we are almost ready to release our newest album. So stay tuned for more details coming soon.

Hey Everyone,

The "Columbia Fields: Live at the Capitol Theater" DVD and EP are now available at our live shows.

The live disc will be the first in a series of live EPs we will releasing.

This weekend was absolutely incredible.

For starters, two of our songs ("Trust" and "Wake Me Up") were played on Gary Craig's morning show on friday morning, and now, you can see video footage of our performance at the Capitol Theater on Gary Craig's website (www.garycraig.com). We'd like to thank Gary Craig for all of his support, and all of our fans who have been calling in requesting our music.

The show at the Capitol Theater went wonderfully. We'd like to thank Andy Gutt, the Windham Arts Collaborative, EastConn, the staff at the theater, our soundman Brenner, our video crew Max, Brett, Kyle and Kenny, Romar for making a killer magazine, Cassandra Kubinski, Calley McGrane, and everyone who came out to support us.

Thank you all so much!

First, we'd like to thank everyone who came out to the BandSlam on Aug. 4th. We'd also like to thank the Harford Advocate and WHUS for putting on a great show.

Our album, "When the Night Falls..." has been added to the WHUS library. That means, if you want to hear us on the radio, all you have to do is call in and put in a request.

Also, for those of you who like to be on the "cutting edge" of technology, our CD is now available on iTunes. Also, keep an eye out for the album on other Music sites like Rhapsody, Napster, and Verizon V-Cast.

We'll be back at Mohegan Sun on Aug. 15th for the second round of the Battle of the Bands. We had a blast during the first round, and we've got our fingers crossed that we'll be able to make it to the finals. Hope to see you there.

Because of your support, we've won the Reader's Choice in the Hartford Grand Band Slam!

We'll be playing at the Outdoor Bandslam Festival on Aug. 4th. Check out the shows section for more details.
