LIVE MUSIC IN ARKANSAS: Groundbreaking Paisley Fields plays Little Rock tavern

Active since 2013, Paisley Fields is a singer, songwriter, and bandleader splitting time between Brooklyn, N.Y. and Nashville, Tenn. He is a touring member of the newly reformed gay-country icons Lavender Country, who also played keyboard on their 2022 album “Blackberry Rose.” Touring in support of the album “Limp Wrist,” Paisley draws inspiration from gay icon Andy Warhol and myriad drag artists with whom he has collaborated. His years of experience in Manhattan piano bars did not diminish his love for country music, and he has already released two albums that pay homage to the music of his youth, according to the paisleyfields.com. Fields and Andy Sa, “cowboy crooner,” perform tonight at White Water Tavern starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale for $10 at whitewatertavern.com. (Special to the Democrat-Gazette/Sammy Hearn)
