Massachusetts native CJ Field is an Americana and country singer-songwriter known for his soulful voice, honest songwriting and engaging live performances. Dubbed "The future Bruce Springsteen of country music" by Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame inductee Devon O'Day, Field has spent more than a decade building his career as both a recording artist and songwriter.
Field co-wrote "Home Sweet Highway" with Ashley McBryde and Blue Foley, featured on McBryde's Grammy, ACM and CMA-nominated album Girl Going Nowhere. The trio also wrote "6th of October," featured on her album The Devil I Know. Field opened for McBryde during the summer of 2026 and has shared stages with Aaron Lewis, Pam Tillis, Ira Dean and Delta blues legend Lil' Sammy Davis, among others.
His debut album, Cannonball, features 11 original songs, including collaborations with McBryde and Terri Jo Box, and background vocals from McBryde, Shelley Fairchild and Dani Flowers. The album's original vinyl pressing sold out, while his single "Goodbye Mona Lisa" has surpassed one million streams and generated more than three million TikTok views.
Performing more than 100 shows annually, Field has appeared at FreshGrass, Tin Pan South, Key West Songwriters Festival, Nashville Nights International Songwriters Festival in Denmark and numerous other events. In 2026, he launched his History of Country Music live series at Chief's on Broadway in Nashville, exploring the songs and artists that shaped the genre.
Beyond performing, Field founded the Field Day music series in Massachusetts, bringing live music, songwriting workshops and educational opportunities to his hometown community. He also founded Fight 4 Them, a nonprofit supporting veterans, and has volunteered with Musicians on Call, performing at VA hospitals. His music video for "The Soldier" premiered on CMT Online in 2023 and garnered 65K+ views.

One of the songs that came out of those sessions was "Home Sweet Highway", which he wrote with Ashley and Blue Foley. In 2018, Ashley put the song on her Grammy, ACM and CMA-nominated album, Girl Going Nowhere, that peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Charts. Ashley continues to play this song at her live shows, including at her Grand Ole Opry Member Induction and on CMT’s campfire sessions.

The song "Greatest Show on Earth", also cowritten with Ashley and Terri Jo, inspired the Music Row Freakshow, which is a songwriter showcase hosted by Terri Jo in Nashville. Now in its eighth year, The Freakshow features hit writers and rising writers every Wednesday and Friday night at The Local. CJ and Terri Jo took The Freakshow experience across the pond in September for the 2022 Nashville Nights International Songwriters Festival in Denmark.
In addition to frequent collaborations with Ashley McBryde, CJ has teamed up with Aaron Lewis and Trent Tomlinson while also sharing stages with Trombone Shorty, Bela Fleck, Allison Brown and Amy Helm.
CJ cut his teeth at open mics in Massachusetts at the age of 20, but prior to moving to Nashville, he spent time in Macon, GA playing with the band, Union South, and even played keys for the Michael Allman Band before going out on his own. It was here CJ picked up much of his soul and southern rock influence.
Throughout his travels, he attended a few of Levon Helm’s Midnight Rambles, spent time jamming with Delta Blues legend, Little Sammy Davis, dominated Shooter Jennings and the .357’s in a game of pool, and once wrestled his songwriting hero and country outlaw, Billy Joe Shaver after a show in Macon, GA. As a multi-instrumentalist, CJ not only writes and sings, but composes, plays and produces the majority of his own material, including his Apologies EP that was released in 2017. He teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer, Eric Torres, to release his latest singles "Good Day" and "Bad Decisions" in 2022. He now splits time between Massachusetts and Nashville.
