Kristen Ford and Rachael Sage

A true lover of live performance, Kristen tours globally, experimenting in pursuit of the perfect show. Utilizing every tool at her disposal from acoustic to electric, from beatboxing to loop pedals, Kristen weaves a tapestry of varied musical color. Ford’s Righteous Babe Records debut, “Pinto”, produced by John Driskell Hopkins (Zac Brown Band) and co-produced by Ani DiFranco is set for release August 2025 led by singles.
