After an intense period of personal and creative growth, a new dawn breaks for this dynamic artist. In his self titled project, Ford Thurston reemerges with new vibrancy, musical maturity, and a country flair that draws influences from the best of his well-rounded past.

Off the beaten path but squarely on the map, Ford Thurston is as much an homage to countrys heart and the roots of blues as is it is the very definition of popular music's future. ford has opened for lonestar, billy currington ,travis tritt, gary allen and pittsburgh faves the clarks and donnie iras.
