Overview

The Ford Theatre Reunion either does all the right things with all the wrong instruments, or vice versa. Punk rock Banjo? Sure. Progressive accordion? Check. Dance clarinet guitar duet? Definitely. Drawing as much influence from Balkan folk and hot club jazz as they do from thrash and progressive metal, Lexington, KY’s premier “sludge-funk-circus-punk” ensemble has thrown aside all tradition to create a brand new party. And since 2008, that party has gotten even the most stubborn feet moving - in bars, theaters, basements, and every other conceivable venue across the US.
