Hundred Year Flood

Cavalier Hundred Year Flood

'Hundred Year Flood combines smart hillbilly shake and stark ballads that feature the heartbreaking, riveting voice of Felecia Ford... and the gorgeously understated drumming of Jim Palmer.' ~Jonanna Widner, Santa Fe Reporter 'Flood has both strong male and female vocals, backed by an acoustic rock style, with some twang... Their CD is strong, with intricate guitar playing and intelligent lyrics... I have a feeling they could become a Telluride favorite.' ~Amy Kimberly, Telluride Watch 'You could go see an imitation of the real thing, or the real thing. These guys are the real thing...' ~Grant Hayunga, Goshen 'One of my favorite bands...' ~Joe West '... excellent silky country pop... Not only are they cute, Hundred Year Flood can play too.' ~Santa Fe Reporter '...if you're lucky, you'll hear Felecia Ford sing...' ~Michael Corcoran, Austin American Statesman Hundred Year Flood Hundred Year Flood is currently based out of the art mecca of Santa Fe, NM; recently transplanted from the live music capital of the world, Austin, TX. They have played all over the western U.S., including the Sundance Film Festival with Goshen, and have toured extensively in Mexico. The members are Felecia Ford (voice and keys), Bill Palmer (guitar and voice), Jim Palmer (drums) and Kendra Lauman (bass). They take country/folk sensibilities and rock them as hard as a noise pop jam band, from stark darkness to a frenzied twang. Felecia Ford is a West Texas master of voice, who cut her teeth on Broadway show tunes and the big production theatrical stage. Brother's Bill and Jim Palmer were members of the legendary Sharecroppers, Austin's groundbreaking bluegrass rockers from before bluegrass was cool again. Kendra Lauman started her career with the Flood and roots the music to the ground with her rock solid bass. The band currently has two albums under it's belt: 2000's critically acclaimed self-titled release and 2003's 'Flutterstrut' just released on Frogville Records. They have also recorded and performed with the likes of Goshen, Nathan Moore (of ThaMuseMeant) and Joe West (Santa Fe's legendary country rocker).
