Music News - Frazey Ford support artist announced for November show

Frazey Ford support artist announced for November show

01 November 2017 - 0 Comments

Canada’s Soul-Country queen, Frazey Ford, will be gracing New Zealand soil for the first time in November 2017.

She is admirably supported by her band comprised of A-list Vancouver musicians Darren Parris, Craig McCaul, Leon Power, and Caroline Ballhorn, who Frazey refers to collectively as The Quiet Revolution.  It was as a member of the well-loved alt-folk band The Be Good Tanyas where the Kootenay/Vancouver-raised, East Van-based singer songwriter’s musical calling began.

And today confirms she will bring fellow Canadian, Garrett Kato, to New Zealand as her support artist for the show.

Tuning Fork, Auckland


Garrett Kato is a Canadian born musician and songwriter. He  now lives in Byron Bay, New South Wales with his Australian partner and daughter.

Kato's sound is described as subtle images of a younger darker Springsteen with the moments of lush beautiful instrumentation from the likes of Bon Iver and The War on Drugs. Kato has toured extensively throughout Australia including a 33 date sold out support slots for Pete Murray, Bernard Fanning and Kasey Chambers along with multiple sold out headline Australian tours.

In 2015 Kato released his second LP, That Low and Lonesome Sound, to much critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone Magazine exclaiming, “A gentile gem rich with songwriting nous and emotion leaking from every pore” .
Frazey will bring audience favourites September Fieldsand Donedown under alongside her latest single release, a lush reinterpretation of D’Angelos’ When We Get By.

With the momentum of her two solo albums—2010’s Obadiah and 2014’s Indian Ocean—Frazey is returning to Afterlife Studios to record her third outing which will be released by Arts & Crafts Records. Frazey will be taking the seat of co-producer with John Raham (We Are The City, Soujouners, Destroyer), a familiar face from Frazey’s past projects, and her new album will showcase talent from Vancouver and international A-listers alike. 

The lightness and hallowed grace Frazey Ford casts on audiences during her live performances lifts melodies to new heights as she sings about renewal, strength, pain, tough truths, knowing when to breath in and let go, trusting yourself, being bold and appreciating all the nuances of love to be found in life.

It’s an experience Auckland audiences will be able to immerse themselves in this November.

The East Vancouver-based singer songwriter exudes equal parts Americana, alt-country and soul. Known as the golden voice from 90's exquisite alt folksters, Be Good Tanyas; Frazey Ford has bloomed as a solo artist with her honey-dipped restraint in her vocals and lyrical intimacies finding a growing audience around the world as her YouTube videos amassed over 2 million views.

The feisty music video for stand-out track Done from her latest critically-lauded album Indian Ocean, caught the viral attention of everyone from NPR Music  to Buzzfeed to Rhythms Magazine Australia; which not only showcased her dance moves and sassy strut, but also Frazey’s fabulous jumpsuit collection.
