My name is Cary Fields, and I've been playing music pretty much my whole life, due to my mom, who brought a piano home to me when I just a boy. Please listen to "CRASHING WAVES" I wrote it for my mom, who passed away 8 years ago, and I would like to thank her everyday for the opportunity to express myself musically, and for bringing music into my life.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cary has been in numerous top cover-bands over the past 20 years. He moved to Westchester County New York in '91, playing the original and cover circuit. In a few years Cary was playing in all the major clubs in NYC,New Jersey and Long Island while making a name for himself as a keyboardist/ rhythm guitarist/Vocalist. He was the opening act for UFO, where he had the pleasure of meeting Jason Bonham, who was drumming for them at the time. Cary has also shared the stage with Kings X, Ritchie Scarlet, ZEBRA, and others. Being no stranger to "tribute bands" Cary has also played with an Aerosmith, Dream Theatre, and U2 Tribute bands.
Cary has always loved Led Zeppelin, and has the greatest respect for other Zep Tributes who pull it off authentically, where the members of the band assume the exact roles of the band. Led Zeppelin has always been a musical influence for Cary.
Keeping true to the look and sound of Led Zeppelin, Cary uses a Fender Jazz bass , Bass Pedals (NOT LEFT-HAND BASS) for keyboard/bass songs and Mandolin on the classics " Going to California" and " That's The Way"
When the opportunity to play with Kashmir presented itself, the timing was perfect. His ability to emulate the textures and sounds that John Paul Jones brought to Led Zeppelin, makes him the perfect choice for KASHMIR. Cary would like to thank Jean, Paul and Andy for allowing him to be part of the KAHSMIR experience, and of course we all thank the fans! Without you, we probably would be jamming to Led Zeppelin in a garage somewhere!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
