THE JAMES THUNDERBIRD FORD BLUES BAND

YOU'VE GOT TO HEAR THE BAND PLAY!

Philly blues veteran James Thunderbird Ford is back with a new band! The line up features James on vocals with guitars, bass, keyboard, harmonica and sax. The band has played at the New Jersey Barbecue Cook-Off and Blues Festival in Anglesea, NJ, The Rusty Nail , The World Cafe and other Philadelphia blues scene venues.  Band members were often seen at Warm Daddy's jam sessions. Traditional Chicago-style electric blues is on tap with a sense of humor and freewheeling improvisation.  The band is currently accepting bookings for 2006 and 2007.

We were alternating with Randy Lippincott's Band as the house band at Gloria's Gourmet Seafood Cafe, 2120 Fairmount Avenue, in Philadelphia. for the Tuesday night jam session, but that venue has ended.  We are looking toward starting a new jam in October.

James Ford also hosts a Monday night blues jam at the New Barber Hall  at 1402 W. Oxford St. near Temple University.  Call 215-763-0369 for info. We start at 8pm.
