Kristen Ford is an LGBTQ mul -instrumentalist based
in Nashville, Tennessee who prior to COVID-19 per-
formed over 100 shows per year to bring her music
to her fans around the globe. She just released her
new music video for "I Want You in My Corner".
"The song was recorded very minimally, just acoustic
guitar and vocals. We were trying to be as venerable
as possible," mentions Ford. "The video plays on the
strings that connect all of us: strangers, lovers, musi-
cal collaborators. It was a very queer video to make.
We had a lesbian director, bisexual co-star, and me!
Kayce actually played on the track as well so it was
fun to do multiple dimensions of creation together in
this way.
Kristen Ford has performed at Pride festivals na-
tionwide alongside Betty Who, Billy Gilman, Troye
Sivan and Melissa Ferrick. Inspired by a DIY ethos,
an inability to commit to one instrument and crazy
love for music, her time in Nashville has resulted in
background roles on CMT's "Nashville" many co-
writes, playing country drums on lower Broadway,
lead guitar at Exit/In, writer/publisher for SESAC,
college representation with NACA and featured
speaker at CDBaby DIY Conference. She has run
several half marathons to raise money for girls rock
camps, frequently travels to Spanish speaking coun-
tries and hopes to someday visit outer space, the true
final frontier for this fearless, genre-bending babe.
