JENN FORD
A U.S. Army Veteran, Jenn Ford grew up in East Texas singing, playing piano, and was very active in her high school band. She attended Panola College after being awarded a vocal music scholarship under the direction of Larry Brumley. She was selected for the Texas Junior College Honor Choir in 1998, and then decided to join the US Army as a Military Police Officer.

She served for 2 years before being selected from Army-wide submissions for an 8 month special duty with Army Entertainment at Fort Belvoir, VA for the US Army Soldier Show in 2001, where she and 16 other performers traveled the Continental US, Korea, Hawaii, and Guam, performing for military soldiers and families in over 100 shows.

She later served in the 62nd Army Band as a classical, jazz, blues, rock, and funk vocalist for a year, until she was moved to Heidelberg Germany to the US Army Europe Soldier's Band and Chorus as a performer, vocal trainer, women's section leader, and Asst. Enlisted Vocal Director.

After 4 years in one of the most highly respected musical organizations in the military, she had performed in excess of 400 more times, in Germany, France, Italy, Rome, and Iraq.

Jenn served 2 more years in regular duty, before receiving an honorable discharge and returning to East Texas.

Currently Jenn performs across the East Texas area, and has shared the stage with Victims of Sanity, Edge of Misery, Passion for Vengeance, Wes Ford and The Foundry, Darrin Morris, Cody Wayne, Heather Linn, Ally Venable, Lee Mathis, Richard Stuart, Sweet Pain, Teazur, Adam Brown, Ryan Dougherty, Andrew Greear, Matthew Jackson, White Trash Wannabes, and countless others that are more than willing, because of her relentless support of the musical community, keen ability to harmonize, and comfort performing a variety of styles. Most recently, she co-hosted the Texas Country Music Awards with Brandon Rhyder, is working on her first solo record, and continues to work as the Marketing Director for The Texas Country Music Association.
