ABOUT NEW SKIES

Coming off the heels of the success of her earlier 2021 release, Trouble In Time, (a collaboration with husband and musical partner, Jeff Fielder), "New Skies" encompasses Waterfield’s signature blend of stripped down folk; "Can’t Move On", classic country; "Love Comes Along", a duet featuring Luke Abbott), folk/pop album title track; "New Skies", pop/rock songs, "Come On Jane" & "Mr. Browntown", and R&B/soul tinged, "Yesterday Was A Bad Day" & "Lie Lie Lie"; resulting in a diverse sound unified by Tekla’s distinctively smooth & dynamic vocals and point-of-view storytelling. Brimming with playful, contemplative, and uplifting energy, "New Skies" is Waterfield’s third solo LP, with plenty of help from NW talent including Jeff Fielder, Andy Stoller & Daniel Walker of Heart, Ryan Burns & Eric Eagle, with recording and production made possible by the Artist Residency Programs at Jack Straw Cultural Center.
