It's another delicious double header of blues roots music! Settle in for some gumbo or red beans, and let this music warm your soul: John Ford presents pre-war blues, old school country, southern gospel and the history behind the music. Ford assimilates the blues of the 1920’s and 30’s, the blues of Robert Johnson and Son House, a bit of 1940's country and a pinch of gospel rhythm, and comes up with his own brand of the roots experience. Ford has been writing since his early teens, growing up in New Richmond, Ohio a small river town 20 miles east of Cincinnati. “Whether it be songs I’ve written or an old song from the 1930’s, I play what I fall in love with".
