Frazey Ford

Frazey Ford arrives in Madrid on November 13, 2026, at Sala Villanos. Born in Whitehorse and based in Vancouver, she first came to prominence in the early 2000s as a co‑founder of The Be Good Tanyas, a group associated with the acoustic revival that crossed folk, old‑time and alternative country. As a solo artist, her compass points toward an intimate, laid‑back soul without losing its folk anchor: Obadiah (2010) set that tone with acoustic guitars and slow tempos; Indian Ocean (2014), recorded in Memphis with members of the Hi Rhythm Section, reinforced the R&B pulse and restrained grooves; U kin B the Sun (2020) opened up the production without sacrificing warmth or closeness.

On stage, Ford works with space and detail: subdued bass, soft drums, enveloping guitars and a flexible vocal delivery that slides slightly behind the beat. Between roots and contemporary soul, her songwriting emphasizes timbre and precise phrasing, allowing each line to breathe. A live performance that bridges North American tradition and a modern sensibility, with careful dynamics and a rhythmic tension that supports both words and motion.
