The Wakefields are an alt-country band based out of Seattle Washington. Formed in 2004 as the by-product of friendships started in previous projects. In December 2004, they released a promotional EP, and soon followed with the release of a full length CD titled Falling Down Blue.

This debut CD from The Wakefields features, horns, tympani, Hammond Organ, pedal steel, percussion and accordion, all wrapped into a nice package of West Coast Americana music that would never be found in Nashville.

Falling Down Blue contains twelve original songs and was recorded and produced by Seattle engineer Martin Feveyear who has worked with many great bands including The Presidents Of The United States, The Minus 5 and The Village Green

indie rock/country.
