Press release
Source: VQPR

Marc Ford

Marc Ford, the former Crowes ax-slinger, is heading out on tour in support of his new solo album Weary and Wired on Blues Bureau Records. Weary and Wired features Ford, who has sold millions of albums worldwide and played in front of more than 50 million people across the globe, on guitars and vocals, Mark “Muddy” Dutton on bass and Doni Gray on drums.

The former Black Crowes’ blues-guitar guru has delivered an extraordinary album full of Classic Rock-soaked riffs, bluesy based crunch with Southern Rock twang. “My influences go way beyond as I do not play nor do I listen to rock," explains Ford. “What influences my playing is folk, blues, jazz, gospel, country, reggae and the list goes on...” Weary and Wired is a significant recording showing Ford’s strength as a singer/songwriter, fueled by large doses of his phenomenal guitar work that brings to mind such masters as Clapton, Hendrix and Beck.

Come out and see what all the talk is about!
