In life we sometimes have the opportunity to reinvent ourselves and go down a different path. In October 2023 at the tender age of 65 I decided to start singing. 

I am following in the footsteps of my father who used to sing with the big dance bands in the late 1940s & 50s.

His stage name was Rocky Ford. Hence Rocky Ford Junior.

Performing is a real pleasure and am available for any event.
My music book contains a mix of contemporary jazz & swing along with other songs that "float my boat".

Please enjoy my songs and spread the word. 

Thank you
Rocky Ford Junior
