Stand And Fight by Brian Ford

Brian wanted to take guitar lessons so his mom took him for his first lesson and the teacher told Brian his hands were too small to play the guitar and probably always would be. The teacher recommended he try playing the accordion or piano. Brian reluctantly chose the accordion. Brian's mom took him to his third accordion lesson and to their surprise the teacher had left town without saying good-bye. Brian still had the interest to play the guitar so he started teaching himself how to play. Having natural talent, by age twelve he had taught himself to play the guitar well and had written his first song. He started performing in church with an acoustical guitar in his hands and a beautifully pitched second tenor voice.

Brian attributes most of his guitar playing skill to his grandfather (a great harmonica player) who was instrumental in his learning. "My grandfather would help me tune my guitar while I was learning to play."

At age twelve his parents brought home Brian's first stereo, which he played and learned to sing Elvis Presley songs.

In his teen years, Brian formed his first band called Daybreak and was the lead singer. They were a very talented group and won several contests and awards. He continued to write gospel and pop songs and after high school he began his career as a solo Contemporary Christian Artist.

Brian has been singing most of his life and his second home is indeed the concert stage. As he astounds audiences with his warmth and gentle spirit, it is apparent singing is the life Brian enjoys. He has the ability to amaze others with the sound of his smooth and professional voice. Although Brian possesses a remarkable talent, he also has a wonderful spirit of humility. Brian summed it up best by saying, "I feel people are touched by my music and that's what counts."

Brian's First Album

In 1988 with the encouragement and help of the Christiano Brothers (a local Christian film/movie maker) Brian recorded his first gospel album entitled "Stand and Fight." He went on tour with that album traveling throughout most of the Southern states.

Brian has performed many concerts to various audiences to include churches, concert halls, youth camps, revivals, BSU, fairs, jamborees, conventions, etc.

1995-1997 Brian and his wife Gwyn moved to Nashville, TN to further his career. "Nashville was a wonderful experience. It was great to meet others with a common love of music everywhere you turn. I met so many wonderful and talented people there." After Brian moved to Nashville it made him realize even more he already had something special being an independent Artist who manufactures and distributes his own music. He put traveling and performance on the back burner and dived into his recording studio to start a new project. He discovered his love of being in the recording studio and making his own records. Brian formed his own record label, Isaford Records.

Brian To Release New Album

"Brian Ford Sings Favorite Wedding Songs Volume One"

Ever since Brian wrote and recorded his original wedding song "I Love You Evermore" he has had an overwhelming response from people everywhere who wanted to use it in their wedding so he decided to focus entirely on promoting this song. He has almost equally had the same response to the song "Thank You Lord For Mom and Dad" which is an original song as well. Now, his goal is to provide these songs to the public by releasing his long awaited second album entitled "Brian Ford Sings Favorite Wedding Songs Volume One." It is a departure from his first Gospel album in that it has a mixture of songs for everyone. Brian's new release is a compilation of gospel, pop and country songs with very positive messages. It is not just for someone who is getting married but for anyone who enjoys listening to positive music. Brian's Logo for the wedding market is "Weddings Alive" by Brian Ford Music.

What's Next?

Brian has already written some of the songs for his third album. The release date is not known at this time. Tune in for updates.
