Blues singer and guitarist T-Model Ford was born as James Lewis Carter Ford in 1924 in the small rural town of Forest, Mississippi. By age eleven T-Model was plowing a field behind a mule on his family's farm. Ford got a job at a local saw mill in his early teens. T-Model eventually secured an even better job as a truck driver for a bigger lumber company. Moreover, Ford was sentenced to a chain gang for ten years for murder. Luckily, he was released after serving only two years of his sentence. In addition, T-Model also worked at a logging camp. He has recorded four fabulously lowdown rough and dirty albums for Fat Possum Records: "Pee-Wee Get My Gun," "You Better Keep Still," "She Ain't None of Your'n," and "Bad Man." With his savage moan of a ragged voice and gritty guitar playing style, Ford brings a gloriously raw and blunt ferocity to Mississippi Delta blues music that's both passionate and powerful in equal measure. T-Model appears as himself in the charming comedy short feature "Lohues Gets the Blues" and the excellent documentary "You See Me Laughin'." T-Model Ford lives in Greenville, Mississippi with his girlfriend Stella.
T-Model is in reasonably good health, high spirits and back on the road playing 50-100 dates a year.
Bill Abel will be opening the show and playing along side T-Model Ford, while local Favorites THE JACK TRADES will provide main local support for T-Model Ford.
This show is 21+ ONLY!
Tickets are $15 in Advance, $20 (if remaining) at the door!
