(VIDEO) Lowdown: Sound Outside-less Sallie Ford in Arcata Tonight
This Humboldt Tuesday’s pick will be contained inside HumBrews‘ hallowed walls. There, indie darling Sallie Ford will wield a new sound outside the confines of her previous, mainly rockabilly band, The Sound Outside — the acclaimed group amicably split last year. Tonight, she will be joined by her all-new, all-female backing band.
Sample Ford’s new aural direction via a live performance below of her song “Coulda Been,” the lead single from her new album Slap Back.
