Paisley Fields
Queer honky-tonk out of Brooklyn — pedal steel, piano and plainspoken songwriting that puts gay life at the center of country tradition.
Paisley Fields is the project of James Wilson, a songwriter and pianist originally from rural Iowa who has been based in New York. The music sits in traditional country and honky-tonk, with pedal steel, fiddle and barroom piano, and the songwriting deals openly with queer experience — a subject long underrepresented in the genre. Wilson has been an active figure in the queer country community, and has played both country venues and rock and punk-adjacent rooms.
