Bold young vocalist Sallie Ford left her native North Carolina in 06 just for the hell of it, and landed in the indie folk music scene of Portland, OR. Since then Ford has been singing and songwriting with the talented trio The Sound Outside – Ford Tennis (drums), Tyler Tornfelt (bass), and Jeff Munger (guitar). Their first EP Not an Animal was self-released in 09 with fans quickly clamoring for more of Ford’s and the Sound Outside’s retro blues/soul/jazz/rock sounds, sassy lyrics and unapologetic delivery. Fortunately for us, their first full-length is in the works for a winter ‘11 release. I had the pleasure of catching them live a couple weeks ago at Pickathon and they put on a great live show – Ford’s incredible, powerful vocals are not to be missed. – Written by JFelton
