About Megan McCormick & Amanda Fields
Megan McCormick was born into a musical family; her grandparents, The Bells, are members of the Western Swing Society Hall of Fame. Megan learned to play guitar and sing harmony from her Papa Chuck, a guitarist, producer, and arranger who once performed with Bob Wills and Tennessee Ernie Ford. Megan proudly carries forward her family’s tradition of writing, producing, and performing music with taste and virtuosity.
Megan has performed onstage at major festivals and venues all over the world and on television programs such as Saturday Night Live, CBS Mornings, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! She has produced over a dozen projects, had many of her original songs recorded by other artists, and in 2025 was nominated for the Americana Music Association Instrumentalist of the Year award.
Amanda Fields is a true child of Appalachia, steeped in the rich traditions of bluegrass and country music. Her sound draws from deep within the well of the soul, bringing cinematic stories to life with melodies so true and beautiful, seemingly stitched together by angels.
She won the songwriting contest at MerleFest in 2018 and has graced the stage of the iconic Bluebird Cafe over the past 8 years next to some of the greatest writers Nashville has known. Amanda Fields’s full-length album release What, When and Without landed recognition for being Saving Country Music’s highest-rated album of 2023 and was nominated alongside artists like Jason Isbell and Lori McKenna for Saving Country Music’s Album of the Year.
In 2020, Amanda and Megan founded the artist label collective Are and Be Recordings in Nashville, Tennessee and began recording projects as a duo, while they continued to release music of their own. Their latest recording project together, Redbird/Rock of Ages, is a double-sided single that features fiddle virtuosos, Tatiana Hargreaves and Odessa.
