David Ford and AM at The Gibson Showroom

Hello to all. Happy Friday. It's been a busy week here at ASCAP. I have been running around to events abound. Amidst all the craziness, I was able to put together a  great afternoon of music Tuesday when ASCAP, along with Stage Three Publishing and Secret Road Music Supervision showcased Independiente artist David Ford and local film and television darling AM. 

Up first was David, who graced us with a highly energetic show despite suffering from slight food poisoning, courtesy of the JFK airport. He effortlessly looped together sound after sound until each song swelled with lush instrumentation. David is sort of know for this technique and every time I see him perform, I am always blown away by his ability to time everything so that it goes off without a hitch. 


Up next was Los Angeles local AM. Although his live performance is more traditional, he executed an equally engaging set. AM is something of a music supervisor's dream child. In the last few years, he has managed to land over fifty placements. This is really impressive for an artist that has no label and no publisher (publishers, pay attention!!!). All in all, it was a great time. I am always especially happy when I have an excuse to have a beer mid- day. Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming events. Have a great weekend!

David Ford is absolutely one talented singer/songwriter. I just wanted to let the rest of the fans know that Motorola is giving away free ring tones including David Ford's "To Hell with the World" under the Hotel Cafe section. Enjoy the freebies!
