Testimonial
From Chloe, Kyle and Company:
“We highly recommend Denise Ford Music & Promotion.  Denise promoted our concert so well on radio, TV, newspaper, and by e-mail, that we enjoyed a full house for our very first concert in the area.  She set up all media coverage well ahead of time, distributed posters effectively, and had everything arranged for the night of the concert.  Denise’s passion for music is displayed in the effort she puts into the promoting and organizing of her concerts.  We look forward to working with Denise Ford again - anytime!"

Denise Ford is an amazing piano player, she really can play anything well, and sing harmonies at the same time. The quality of her performance says volumes on the quality of anything she does. As a producer of some excellent concerts, attention to every detail taken with care and attention that is so Denise. Her promotions are enthusiastically delivered with professionalism and class. Ford Music Promotion is on the continuum of musical enlightenment, a pleasure to work with, or enjoy in the audience.
