Frazey Ford

“It’s hard to think of another singer who suggests Dolly Parton, Ann Peebles and Feist. She phrases intuitively, waiting on a word and then drawing it out, and turns good lyrics to oatmeal, adding strange new colors to vowels, making whole syllables vanish.” —The New York Times.  Vancouver artist Frazey Ford is revered for her soulful voice, captivating live show, and immersive lyrical storytelling. Returning with her first new original music in five years, “The Kids Are Having None of It” is protest music at its core. With Frazey’s calm, confident warning compelled by a visceral, soulful bass guitar backbone: “Get out of the way / You’ve had your day / And it’s no longer how we gon’ play,” she sings. “Don’t be fooled by the glittery jumpsuit. Frazey spent 13 years as a member of the widely acclaimed Be Good Tanyas, who performed here at JTMF way back in 2007. Frazey Ford is out for blood.” —NPR  “Ford tiptoes between soft jazz, smoky soul, and austere country” —Pitchfork “Her voice is magnetic enough to tilt the Earth’s axis, the grooves so deep and plush that they could upholster a Cadillac.” Q Magazine.
