Biography

Fallow Fields

Rocky head road

Based in the misty hills of the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria, Australia, Fallow Fields are a captivating alt-country ensemble led by the husband and wife songwriting duo, Danna and Rachel Simmons.

Their debut album ‘Rocky Head Road’ made an impressive entrance on the ARIA charts, debuting at #2 on the Australian Country Chart, #15 on the Australian Album Chart, and #19 on the Country Chart. In their first week, it became the best-selling country album on Bandcamp, across vinyl, CD and digital formats.

Fallow Fields’ songwriting is a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the complexities of love and life, where Danna and Rachel fearlessly lay bare their hearts for all to see. From moments of blissful joy, to heartbreaking despair, their songs capture the full spectrum of human experience with a vulnerability that is as brave as it is beautiful.

Fallow Fields’ country-tinged harmonies resonate with the depth and richness that only two decades of musical partnership can bring. With their voices finely tuned by years of shared experiences, Fallow Fields deliver harmonies that evoke the nostalgia of a bygone era.

‘Rocky Head Road’ has been a long time in the making, but was well worth the wait. Recorded at their amazing home studio (Narnia Studios) and featuring some of Australia’s finest alt-country talent, the album wears its heart on its sleeve.

From haunting ballads to foot-stomping anthems, the record takes the listener on a guided tour of a life well lived. Mixed by the illustrious Paul McKercher and mastered by the brilliant William Bowden, this is a release you won’t want to miss.
