SALLY FORD


Before succumbing to the latin bug, saxophonist Sally Ford worked with many of Australia’s leading acts, including Paul Kelly, The Kevins, Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows and Sally’s own funk outfit, Washington Wives.

She is now known as a singer and songwriter of latin genres: tex-mex, mariachi, cumbia, tango and Cuban son, primarily with her bands Texicali Rose and The Pachuco Playboys. As lead vocalist and sax player with these bands she has been a regular at music and arts festivals around the country and released award-winning albums including World Music Album of the Year in Rhythms Magazine’s Readers’ Poll and Australian Album of the Year at the 2001 Australian World Music Awards.

    And I think she played with the High Rise Bombers which included Paul Kelly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X14A0EVG2f8

    I had the great pleasure of experiencing Sally and Texicali Rose performing a 'rock opera' on the balcony of Melbourne Town Hall in 1997.
    It's a night I'll NEVER forget and I'm playing the CD right now.
