Frazey Ford

On November 12, 2026, at La Nau in Barcelona, Frazey Ford arrives with an intimate, rhythmic live show in which her voice sets the pulse. Born in Whitehorse and based in Vancouver, she came to prominence with The Be Good Tanyas, a trio that renewed acoustic folk between alt‑country and old‑time. As a solo artist, Ford shifted the center of gravity toward a restrained, textured soul while retaining the folk roots that run through her songwriting.

Her first album, Obadiah (2010), maps that crossroads: warm guitars, slow tempos and a singer‑songwriter narrative. With Indian Ocean (2014), recorded in Memphis with members of the Hi Rhythm Section, the groove is established: bass and drums up front, sober organ lines and a vocal approach that sits slightly behind the beat. U kin B the Sun (2020) broadens the palette with more open R&B layers and arrangements that breathe.

On stage, Ford works the dynamics: silences that sustain the melody, backing vocals that come in just off time, and discreet riffs that push without excess. Between acoustic ballads and soul passages, the set connects her folk phase with her warmer present, attending carefully to phrasing and the space of each instrument. A night to delve into the details of her songs, between roots and cadence.
