Ivy Ford at Petskull Brewing
People have been telling me for a while that I need to see Ivy Ford, and tonight it finally worked out. It was raining, so the show moved inside instead of onto the patio, which usually isn't my favorite setup for photographing, but the stage lights inside made up for it.
I'm glad I finally made it out. Ivy is a genuinely talented singer and guitar player, and her band matched her. Blues is a genre where technical skill only gets you so far. If you don't feel it in your soul, it comes across as fake. Ivy has it in her soul, and she makes you feel every note and every word.
