JOHN FORD COLEY IN CONCERT:

Soft rocker John Ford Coley brings a potent blend of smile-inducing enthusiasm and sing-along melodicism to every hit-filled show he plays. As one half of England Dan & John Ford Coley, this Texas native cut his teeth with ë70s radio staples like ìLove Is the Answerî, ìWeíll Never Have to Say Goodbye Againî, and ìIíd Really Love to See You Tonightî. The sunny vibe that made these songs hits in the first place still permeates Coleyís warm and welcoming vocals, and his infectious grin is guaranteed to spread to ticket buyers. Fans that want to experience a little happiness and a whole lot of AM radio hits can count on John Ford Coley to deliver every time he takes the stage.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

John Edward Colley was born in Dallas, TX in 1948 and raised on a blend of Grand Ole Opry, roots rock and roll, and religious hymns. Colley began to perform in rock bands with high school classmate and friend Dan Seals -- the younger brother of Jim Seals of Seals & Crofts fame. After a few years playing together as a duo under the name England Dan & John Ford Coley, the pair signed a deal with A&M Records and relocated to Los Angeles in 1971. Following a few singles and a new deal with Atlantic Records, the group finally scored with the 1976 No. 2 hit ìIíd Really Love to See You Tonightî. Despite a successful five year period that saw the group notch five more Top 40 hits, they disbanded in 1980. While Coley switched his focus to acting, Seals pursued a successful country music career. Coley returned to music in the '90s and '00s to work with artists like Eddie Money, Ambrosia, and Vince Gill, and he contiunues to thrill fans with upbeat solo performances of his soft rock hits.

    by DebT on 1/23/23Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino Bears Den - Niagara FallsRating: 5 out of 5

    Excellent evening with John Ford Coley. Very up close and personal in the Bears Den. Never a bad seat either! John’s songs bring me back to the good old days of the seventies. He still sounds great and I will continue to see him!

  • I have been to 3 of John Ford Coleys shows this year!

    I met John Ford Coley several years ago in Jackson, TN at a show! We have been good friends since. His personality shines as soon as he speaks, and he holds the audience in his hand I don’t know of a better entertainer and I have seen plenty! I am amazed at his keyboard skills and his jokes always make me laugh He puts his heart into each song he sings and loves it

  • One of the greats

    JFC is the real deal. His music is just as good today as it was in the 70s. Super nice guy also.

  • Great Show

    by Hamboned on 4/8/18Ross Ragland Theatre - Klamath FallsRating: 4 out of 5

    Wow! I did not remember all the great songs from this band/duo. He and his band performed them very well as well as some of John's new material. This was a great show in a smaller venue!

  • John Ford Coley played to the audience!

    by shaqkeel on 11/5/13Club Madrid at Sunset Station Hotel & Casino - HendersonRating: 4 out of 5

    John did a great job of keeping the mood light and as well as very entertaining. Of course the music was great as expected. Very nice to see him in such a small venue. Highly recommend if you get a chance to take the time to see this show. It was an all acoustic set. Fantastic!

    very disappointed that there was no band, never advertised as acoustic show, their music needs a band, and background harmonies, did not like the show.
