Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, singer-songwriter Frazey Ford traveled a long way to perform at the Gladden House on the second day of the 2017 Nelsonville Music Festival. She brought along with her longtime pal and backup singer Caroline Ballhorn. Ford said that she will be releasing her first EP since 2014 this summer.
The duo first performed “You Got Religion,” an Aretha Franklin-inspired gospel tune from Ford’s 2014 effort Indian Ocean (Nettwerk). They then dipped into “September Fields,” the opening track off of the aforementioned album. The duo then treated the audience to a performance of Cat Steven’s heavenly “How Can I Tell You?” from his 1971 album Teaser and the Firecat.
