Sallie Ford Brings Slap And Tour

SALLIE FORD ANNOUNCES NEW TOUR DATES BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER

UPCOMING NEW ALBUM SLAP BACK AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER TODAY

Sallie Ford has announced new tour dates for her headlining fall tour beginning November 2nd in Missoula, MT with stops in Chicago (11/6), Toronto (11/8), Montreal (11/09), Brooklyn (11/14) and Washington, DC (11/16). The tour will feature Sallie’s all new band – Anita Lee Elliot (Viva Voce & Blue Giant) on bass, Amanda Spring (Point Juncture, WA) on drums & Cristina Cano (Albatross & Siren & the Sea) on keyboards. See full list of dates below.

Sallie Ford’s upcoming album Slap Back will be available on October 14th, but beginning today fans can pre-order the album on iTunes and the Vanguard Records Store. Produced by Chris Funk (Decemberists, Red Fang), Slap Back features a collection of songs full of “simple lyrics about raw emotions,” Ford says, played with the urgency exemplified in the fuzzed-out, missed-love-by-just-that-much lead single, “Coulda Been.” Ford calls Slap Back an “ode to all the babe rockers” from Pat Benetar and PJ Harvey to Xene Cervenka, Joan Jett and Heart.

Sallie Ford grew up playing music in Asheville, NC. In 2006, she moved to Portland, OR where she met her band “The Sound Outside.” Together, they released three albums and an EP but parted ways in 2013. Ford has garnered critical acclaim from NPR, “With a powerhouse voice, the Portland transplant is a mix of Cat Power and Ella Fitzgerald,” USA Today, New York Daily News, Boston Globe, Interview, Nylon, BUST, Paste, to name a few and performed on The Late Show with David Letterman.
