We’re thrilled about these adventures ahead!

ENDLESS FIELD

Endless Field (Biophilia Records) is an instrumental guitar and bass duo featuring guitarist Jesse Lewis and bassist Ike Sturm. They play original songs filled with intricate finger-style lines, improvisation and ambient textures. Drawing on inspiration from nature, the duo seeks to bring music to outdoor spaces, encouraging audiences to explore their own frontiers.

Endless Field has toured internationally in Europe, Scandinavia, and across the U.S., performing at Lincoln Center, the United Nations, and live on NPR's Echoes Radio. Volunteer activities have involved Riverkeeper sweeps, Habitat for Humanity, university residencies and river cleanup projects. They have collaborated with jazz luminaries such as Sara Caswell, Theo Bleckmann, Nadje Noordhuis, Ingrid Jensen and Donny McCaslin. Endless Field produces an annual benefit concert in New York City for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) called “LIVING EARTH”, which has featured world-class ensembles led by Catherine Russell, Dave Douglas, Camila Meza and Fabian Almazan.

Endless Field released ‘Alive in the Wilderness’ in the summer of 2020 on Biophilia Records. The album was recorded live in the Utah wilderness using a solar battery-powered mobile recording studio. National Geographic photographers and videographers documented their epic adventure and all album proceeds are being donated to the Natural Resources Defense Council.

Their most recent adventure in summer of 2023 brought them to Denali National Park in the Alaskan wilderness to record an album created live on mountains and glaciers. They brought engineers to capture video and audio in these extreme regions of the planet, hiking all gear and instruments into the wild and rugged recording environments. Album coming 2024.
