18th Anniversary Concert featuring Ash Ford and Ned Harris at Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center (Newport News)
October 10 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Celebrate 18 years of Downing-Gross Cultural Arts Center!
We’re excited to welcome Ash Ford with special guest Ned Harris as we commemorate 18 years of building community through the arts.
Ash Ford is a singer, songwriter, and vocal arranger whose sound blends soulful storytelling with modern edge. Originally from Alabama and now based in Boston, Ash brings Southern roots and city influence together to create music that feels both intimate and expansive. With a strong focus on vocal layering and emotion-driven songwriting, her work explores themes of faith, healing, and growth.
Ned Harris began singing at the age of 5, joined his church choir at the age of 11, and began performing with his community theater before he was old enough to vote or drink legally. Influenced by the Motown music that his parents kept in rotation during car rides around Albany, Ned fell in love with the era, and is still influenced by the Motown sound to this day. As a former member of Kustom Made and the 1960s quartet group, The Unifics, Ned prides himself in sticking to the foundation of what the forefathers of R&B and Soul music have built over the years. With every track that he puts his name on, Ned makes a conscious effort to create quality music that is inspired by greats like Prince, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, Sam Cooke and Marvin Gaye.
