Sligo Live presents Frazey Ford, in Hawk’s Well Theatre, Sligo on Tuesday 28th October at 8pm. Tickets €34.00 plus fees.
Frazey Ford is one of Canada’s most distinctive voices-a singer-songwriter whose music defies easy categorization. Emerging as a founding member of the folk trio The Be Good Tanyas, Ford helped pioneer a roots revival in the early 2000s that blending Americana, folk, and alt-country. Her solo career has taken her into new territory.
Ford’s 2010 debut ‘Obadiah’ introduced listeners to a more soulful, introspective side of her artistry, fusing folk with slow-burning Southern soul. She followed it with Indian Ocean in 2014, recorded in Memphis with members of Al Green legendary Hi Rhythm section.
Frazey Ford’s third album, ‘U kin B the Sun’ (2020), is a luminous, defiant work that deals with themes of transformation, healing, and inner strength. Her lyrics speak to both personal and political awakenings, delivered with a voice that’s both intimate and soaring. Whether she’s channelling soul, folk, or R&B, she delivers songs that feel lived-in, real, and rooted in the complexity of human experience.
They have played on some of the biggest festivals on this earth -including Wacken Open Air, Rescontres Trans Musicales, Nova Rock, Sweden Rock etc. in over 30 countries and on four continents the audiences from small clubs to big venues have witnessed their musical adventures and pure good times. And the flight continues on!
Jaywalkers are UK-based, but many from the other side of the Atlantic have complimented them on their particularly stylish delivery of this virtuosic brand of Americana. These three outstanding musicians have developed a combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmony pack a punch as fiery as Jay’s lead vocals. Jaywalkers released their highly anticipated new album, ‘Move On‘, in Spring 2025 and have received rave reviews as well as multiple plays on BBC Radio 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews’ show.
