HBAF 2022 - Frazey Ford and the Quiet Revolution

Dates

  • Fri 14 Oct 2022, 7:30pm–8:45pm

Restrictions

All Ages Licensed

Vancouver-based Frazey Ford inhabits an entire world of shapeshifting rhythm, elevating every beat and groove with the subtle magnetism of her mesmerizing voice. A graceful collision of soul and psychedelia and sometimes ’70s funk, her latest album U kin B the Sun, invites both self-reflection and wildly joyful movement, and ultimately sparks a quiet transcendence.

A founding member of seminal folk band The Be Good Tanyas, Ford’s award-winning 2014 solo album 'Indian Ocean' was recorded with Al Green’s band, The Hi Rhythm Section – iconic architects of the Memphis soul sound. Named one of the top releases of 2014, 'Indian Ocean' is an acclaimed country soul gem.

Performing live, Soul-Americana singer-songwriter Frazey Ford is a captivating presence, supported by the intoxicating lilt of her band. Part of Ford’s international tour and celebrating the return of international acts to the Festival stage, join us for this deeply purifying opening night performance.
