David Ford
The Sound Lounge, SM1 1NU , [Venue Details]We live in interesting times.
Even before a global pandemic re-shaped the age, this was already a challenging moment for the independent musical artist.
The business appears to have attained a permanent state of flux and is widely characterised as some kind of monster, chewing up and spitting out the naively pure of heart.
And yet David Ford is finally happy.
For the first time in twenty years, there is nobody trying to make him famous. Ford’s journey through the many worlds of the modern music industry has not always been an easy one to navigate. A succession of record labels seduced by his talents have in turn, attempted to sell him as a pop star, a protest singer, an indie hipster, a balladeer and a bluesman.
In reality he might be all of these things.
And none of the above.
It’s complicated.
These days, Ford feels much more at home operating on the fringes of the music business, not trying to be famous, not trying to get rich. It might be an unconventional way to conduct a musical career, but this is not a conventional guy, as evidenced by his more recent studio output.
