SALLY FORD AND THE IDIOMATICS
Sally Ford and the Idiomatics play songs of life, love and lived experience.
Patrick Cronin, Michael Havir and Alice Garner provide lush backing arrangements to Sally's wryly-observed lyrics. An underscore of keyboards and electronics is embellished by cello, trombone, sax and flute to create a richly imagined sonic experience.
"Sally Ford & The Idiomatics bring a strong and enduring – and ultimately eclectic – musicianship to the stage ... these musicians certainly don’t play it safe. Genre-blending and genre-bending, there is both moodiness and familiarity in their songs ….
Glam Adelaide, June 2023
The Idiomatic's uplifting, groove-drenched sound draws on the musicians’ respective backgrounds sigh the ARIA-winning Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Texicali Rose, the Spaghetti Western Orchestra, Xylouris Ensemble, Yothu Yindi, Sally Ford and the Pachuco Playboys, Joe Camilleri’s Black Sorrows, Frank Yamma and Sunshine Tip.
Original tunes and freshly interpreted classics come together in this richly imagined musical experience.
