Frazey Ford is revered for her soulful voice, captivating live show, and immersive lyrical storytelling. Her latest album, U Kin B the Sun, highlights her unbridled full-throated ebullience that takes listeners down to where the soul rivers run deep. “A singer and songwriter who can pack a wealth of heartbreak, forbearance and rapture into the smallest intimations, and even into the spaces in between them” (Uncut).  She has received rave reviews for her first single and video from this new album, the soulful activism anthem ‘The Kids Are Having None of It’.

Frazey was a founding member of alt-folk band The Be Good Tanyas. In 2010, she launched her solo career with her debut album Obadiah on Nettwerk Records. Obadiah garnered reviews in publications such as The New York Times and The Guardian. In October 2014 Frazey returned with her second Nettwerk released solo album, Indian Ocean – a lush album filled with songs about love, contrition and being bold.

“It’s hard to think of another singer who suggests Dolly Parton, Ann Peebles and Feist. She phrases intuitively, waiting on a word and then drawing it out, and turns good lyrics to oatmeal, adding strange new colors to vowels, making whole syllables vanish”  – New York Times
