Ford's currently on the road with Queensrÿche, whose new release is the self-explanatory concept album American Soldier. Rather than do a traditional opening set, though, she's appearing with the headliners, singing three songs with them as her backing band. "I'm gonna sing with Geoff Tate," she explains. "We're doing 'Close My Eyes Forever,' then we're gonna do a couple of new songs. Jim's gonna come out and sing too. So it's not like I'm the support act or they're the headliners; it's a team effort."
She plans to assemble a band of her own for festivals and other tour dates in 2010, and who knows? It might turn into a full-on family affair. As Ford explains, "James is now playing guitar; he's 12 years old, and he shreds. He's doing great. We gave him a Goldtop Les Paul for his birthday a year ago, and he uses it every day. Rocco is into drums; he's only 8 years old, but he loves heavy metal and wants to play drums, so he's working with that. Yeah, they're little rocker kids."
