Frazey Ford Prepares For October UK Tour & Tickets
Monday, 04 October 2010
Written by Jon Stickler
Frazey Ford, founding member of the Be Good Tanyas, is to play a string of dates across the country as part of her UK tour promoting debut album 'Obadiah'.
The Canadian singer-songwriter released her debut album to huge acclaim last summer and cites Rhythm and Blues singers Ann Peebles, Roberta Flack, and Donny Hathaway as influences, this is evident in 'Obadiah'. Jenny Charlesworth of The Georgia Straight wrote that a few of the songs "swing with a mellow neo-soul beat enlivened by buttery vocals". Ford also credits her free spirited parents (her father was an American draft dodger who moved to Canada), and being a mother as strong influences on her songwriting.
Frazey had a flying promo visit to the UK earlier in the year and did sessions with Bob Harris at Radio 2, 6Music, BBC Radio London and The Fly Magazine. She will return later this month, getting her tour underway on Saturday October 9th at Glasgow's Fallen Angel Club. The tour calls at venues nationwide before closing at London's Purcell Room on Monday October 18th. A full list of dates is below.
