AP Dugas, Gregory Paul, and Annie Ford

AP Dugas:

AP Dugas is an active singer songwriter who hails from Texas and is a recent transplant to Seattle. He is influenced by Towns Van Zandt, Willie Nelson and Elliot Smith and has a background in punk and rock. His voice and songs ring true with a heartfelt authenticity. He is the lead singer in the Ganges River Band and also performs solo around Seattle, Bellingham and Texas.

Gregory Paul:
Gregory Paul spent most of his life in Upstate, NY before moving to Seattle in 2009. He has been touring and recording sporadically for many years, making mesmerizing music with folk, traditional / old-time, rock, and experimental influences. He currently can be found performing old-time & traditional music throughout the week at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. GP has provided accompaniment for Lindsay Fuller, Sera Cahoone, Shannon Stephens and many others.

Annie Ford:

Annie Ford from Virginia is a songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and studio musician, performing in numerous groups around in Seattle. She was a regular fixture at the Pike Place Market for several years street performing with the group Slimpickins. She has contributed most recently to the records of local artists Shannon Stephens and Ali Marcus and is an active member of Nu Klezmer Army, Cast Iron Maidens and Annie Ford Band. Memories of the mountains back home, travels across the country and ghosts of love permeate the emotional landscape of her songs. There is a timeless and dynamic quality to her playing and singing that seems at once to come from the ether and a deep connection to the inner workings of the heart.

All three of these songwriters have collaborated separately within Seattle's broader eclectic scene and regularly perform solo.
