Based in Vancouver, Rusty Ford is singer-songwriter whose unique tunes are a saucy salute to the golden age of classic country.
Inspired by a gag email of the top ten worst country songs never written, his tongue-in-cheek love ballads include "I Hate Every Bone in Your Body Except Mine", and "I Miss You But My Aim's Improving".
Rusty's rocking band the Extra Regulars features the Noah Walker on lead guitar Jodie Ponto on drums (both of Kitty and the Rooster) and Terri Upton on standup bass. In addition to a rich line up of original tunes, they can bring the house down with a full set of uncannily channeled classics from the late great Stompin’ Tom Conners.
