Ford Thurston's foundational background as an amazing country-blues guitarist has served him in his writing, recording, and performing endeavors in country, funk, pop and rock. It has been a journey marked by smashing regional success, critical acclaim, and loyal, eclectic fans.
After an intense period of personal and creative growth, a new dawn breaks for this dynamic artist. In his self-titled project, Ford Thurston reemerges with new vibrancy, musical maturity, and a country flair that draws influences from the best of his well-rounded past.
Ford Thurston combines down-home, 'aw shucks' sensibility with a twist of sincere sentimentality on a bed of music that instantly encourages the listener to ponder whether this is country, rock, or pop. This fresh offering is sure to garner the attention of hungry and ambitious radio programmers and critics alike.
The antithesis of cerebral, these inward-reaching, organic and infectious songs are 100% radio, film, and TV show ready. It's music that speaks to the heart.
Off the beaten path but squarely on the map, Ford Thurston is as much an homage to country's heart and the roots of blues as is it is the very definition of popular music's future.
Ford has opened for Lonestar, Billy Currington ,Travis Tritt, Gary Allen and Pittsburgh faves The Clarks and Donnie Iris.
