David Ford is a true one man band

I went to see Augustana the other night and while I patiently waited (drinking a Newcastle), the first act came out on stage and started to perform. At first, I was like "hey, these guys are good." Then I realized, it was just one guy. That guy: David Ford from the UK. I instantly took a liking to his voice, which was soft and smooth at times and then would get very loud and rough. He was very emotional with lots of passion. The thing that captured my attention the most, was that fact he was the only one on stage, but it sounded like a 4 or 5 piece band on stage. I soon realized he was looping many of the songs, but it sounded great! He played guitar, key boards, tambourine & sang background vocals. He would record a part and than loop it through the song while he continued to sing and perform. After checking out his website, I found a 3 song EP available for FREE, all you need to do is enter your e-mail address and the code "gotohell". He has two full length releases available on iTunes if you like what you hear. Those Brits have been good to my ears lately...lol:0)

  2. I really like his music. I am sad that I didn't get to go to that concert with you. Oh well there will be others we can go to.
