Born in a log cabin, Annie Ford was raised in a small rural Virginia town. In a little slice of turn-of-the-century Americana, Annie chopped and stacked wood, hung clothes on the line and spent her days making scarecrows and swinging on rope swings. Annie was a real-life Annie Oakley—reared in the sparse, rustic darkness of rural America—and like Oakley, she knew she’d find her destiny out West. She hit the road, spent a few years in New Orleans and ended up in Seattle, where she lives today. She took on the great American tradition of playing music on the street to earn a few bucks (busking). Annie soon became a regular fixture at the world famous Pike Place Market, putting her in touch with some pretty big names, like Gill Landry, of Old Crow Medicine Show. Landry, impressed with Annie’s fiddle skills, asked that she join him on a national tour! When she returned to Seattle, it was as a full time musician.
After 10 years of being an in-demand side-musician, it was time for Annie Ford to strike out on her own. She opened an old notebook full of songs she’d been working on over the years and used it to start The Annie Ford Band, which combines Annie’s compelling story-telling and dark Appalachian roots with her knack for modern genres like rock n roll, jazz and punk. Coming out of Seattle’s Ballard Avenue country music scene, The Annie Ford Band represents a regional community of true underground Americana! |
