We knew there was something special about Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside when we first discovered the group a year or so ago while looking into ideas for the 2010 lineup. Was it the glasses and the smile? Maybe the throwback sound and style? Hmm… I guess all these things helped make the decision an easy one.

Leaping forward into May of 2010 and what do we find out this week from our friends over at Willamette Week? Portland’s Best New Band in 2010, that’s what.

Congrats Sallie!
