Release Notes:
Combining elements of jazz, R&B, and rock & roll -- all during the early stages
of their development -- and fusing it with a contemporary energy and swagger,
Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside are a Portland, Oregon-based quartet who've
earned an impressive following in their hometown and made some influential fans,
including the Avett Brothers, who've championed the combo and taken them on the
road with them.
Lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Sallie Ford was raised in Asheville, North
Carolina and came from a creative family; her father Hobey Ford is a celebrated
puppet artist and her mother is a music teacher. While Sallie learned to play
guitar and violin as a child, and enjoyed singing as a teenager, she found
herself intimidated by the artistic path followed by her parents and siblings
(both of whom were involved in the performing arts), and has described herself
as "the weird one" in the family. That changed when Ford moved to Portland in
2006 after dropping out of college; influenced by Cat Power, the Squirrel Nut
Zippers, and Tom Waits, Ford developed greater confidence in her vocal abilities
and began appearing at open mike nights at local clubs. In 2008, she crossed
paths with bassist Tyler Tornfelt and drummer Ford Tennis, two friends from
Alaska who had been making music together for years and had recently relocated
to Portland. Ford discovered she was simpatico with Tornfelt and Tennis, and
they began performing together as a trio; when guitarist Jeffrey Munger heard
them while playing for change on the street, he liked what he heard and soon
volunteered his services, and Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside's lineup was
complete.
Later in 2008, the combo self-released an EP, Not an Animal, and word of mouth
and positive press helped to make them a top attraction in the Pacific
Northwest. When a friend of the band told Seth Avett of the Avett Brothers to
give Ford & the Sound Outside a listen, he did and liked what he heard, inviting
them to open for the Avetts for a string of West Coast dates, further spreading
the word about the act. In 2010, Partisan Records struck a deal with the band,
and Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside's first full-length album, Dirty Radio, was
released in May 2011. A second full-length, Untamed Beast, followed early in
2013.
