Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside (1 Albums, 1 Tracks)
Artist
Sallie Ford hails from Asheville, North Carolina,
just east of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Enjoying a musical upbringing surrounded by performers,
she grew up playing the guitar and
the violin in addition to singing.
On a whim, Ford pulled up her Carolina roots
and moved across the country to Portland, Oregon,
where she has been writing songs since 2006.
She met drummer Ford Tennis and bassist Tyler Tornfelt
in 2008, and then a year later met lead guitarist Jeff Munger
while he was performing on the streets.
Though inspired by the vocal stylings of old jazz, blues and soul singers
like Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith
and Etta James, Sallie and her three-piece band,
'The Sound Outside,' also seek a contemporary sound to throw
into the mix. Continuing to enjoy the musical community in Portland, Oregon,
Sallie Ford and The Sound Outside
self-released their first EP 'Not An Animal' in May 2009.
Their debut full-length album is forthcoming, and has a
release date planned in Fall 2010. (www.sallieford.com)
