He is often considered as either "a father/uncle/cousin-figure", "a founding/influential member of" or "a deep influence on" various separate but related micro-cultures of contemporary underground avant-folk/punk music including the K Records/Marriage/States Rights northwest 'scene', The 'New Energy/Nu Energee Movement', the 'Freak-Folk' trend of 2003-2006, etc. etc.
Field is also an extremely accomplished visual artist, with gallery representation across the globe. his art can be found at KYLEDRAWS.COM

Kyle is one of my deepest, oldest homies. We've played a lot of music together over the years and its always a complete delight and pleasure when he graces us with his presence up here in the Northwest. He is a very funny, bright, talented, brilliant light of a man, and none who attend this special event will leave disappointed. So please come out!
