M. Ward

M. Ward is a Portland, Oregon-based singer/songwriter whose music occupies a place that is uniquely ‘out of time,’ a place that bridges the gaps between the roots of various American musical traditions—folk, country, blues, and rock. Armed with a guitar, harmonica, sparse percussion, and a Tin Pan Alley-esque piano, Ward spins timeless classics that seem to flow effortlessly. These are simple yet eloquent tales alive with metaphor and imagery, told in a raspy, sepia-toned croon. Listening to M. Ward is like thumbing through an old family photo album full of black and white photographs that are fading around the edges, an imperfection that only adds to the clarity of their memories.
