The Oblations

Rock, Soul, Blues

Joe MacPhail and Daniel Fields have joined forces to bring the world The Oblations. The Oblations are a “two-man band”, where Joe MacPhail plays components of the drum kit and keyboards which, together with Daniel Fields’s guitar, create a fullness of sound usually reserved for trios or quartets. Their multi-faceted vocal performances and dedication both to songcraft and musicianship bring the music to life, giving the group a vibrant personality.

The Oblations can’t be pinned down into a single genre, as the sound is a melting pot of the member’s influences. Friends of The Oblations will join them at shows and in the studio, adding their own personalities to the musical mix. As a blues unit, The Oblations harken back to a time before “The Bar Blues Band”, when the blues came straight from the soul. Unlike most duos, the Oblations don’t become formulaic, due to the musicianship of the members and integrity of the songs. Regardless of what genres or instrumentation are presented, what remains consistent is the honesty of the music, the dedication MacPhail and Fields have towards their craft, and their love of music.
