Thursday Febrary 25th
T-MODEL FORD, TEN FOOT POLECATS, and ERIN HARPE
at PA's Lounge
345 Somerville Ave - Somerville MA
$10 tickets, 21+, 8pm doors
T-MODEL FORD comes to the Boston area with Marty Reinsel, from the Seattle based band Gravelroad, on drums.
Opening the show is Massachusetts' own purveyors of North Mississippi Hill Country Blues & Punk Blues - The Ten Foot Polecats.
A little about James T-Model Ford:
T-Model's credentials are impeccable; if anything he's over qualified. He was born James Lewis Carter Ford in Forrest, a small community in Scott County, Mississippi. He was plowing a field behind a mule on his family's farm by age eleven, and in his early teens he secured a job at a local sawmill. He excelled and was later recruited by a foreman from a bigger lumber company in the Delta, near Greenville, and eventually got promoted to truck driver.
Between that and working in a log camp T-Model was sentenced to ten years on a chain-gang for murder. He lucked out and was released after serving two. He says, grinning, "I could really stomp some ass back then, stomp it good. I was a-sure-enough- dangerous man." When asked how many times he'd been to jail, T-Model responded, "I don't know. Every Saturday night there for awhile."
As disheartening as this is, it's also a refreshing reminder of how ridiculous the present image of a bluesman is.
It's Jack Daniel Time!
"T-Model Ford is going to remember you sorry fuckers how it's done"
