Sallie and Anita

Sallie Ford with The Sound Outside at Smith's Olde Bar, March 2013
Sallie Ford has disbanded The Sound Outside and released an album last October with a less rockabilly-oriented, all-female band.



Notably, the band includes Anita Lee Elliott, formerly Robinson and formerly of Viva Voce, on bass. Here's Anita on guitar at Bumbershoot 2007.



Back during Rocktober 2011, Viva Voce played a set at The Earl that was as interesting as it was intimate.  Folks in the audience had driven all the way from Muscle Shoals, Alabama for the show, and a couple there had used Viva Voce's music in their wedding ceremony.

So, yes, I have an affection for Viva Voce and Anita, so it's nice to see that she's now part of fellow Portlandian Sallie Ford's band.
