M. Ward is a Portland, Oregon based songwriter born on October 4, 1973. He draws inspiration from various American musical traditions including folk, country, blues, and rock. With his unique blend of genres, M. Ward has captivated audiences worldwide.

Not only does he have a successful solo career, but M. Ward is also part of the group She & Him alongside *Zooey Deschanel*. Together they create enchanting melodies that have garnered critical acclaim.

If you enjoy artists such as Sparklehorse, T.V. On The Radio, Guster, Starlight Mints, Mercury Rev, Clem Snide, Eels or Daniel Johnston then you are sure to appreciate the captivating soundscapes crafted by *M. Ward*.

Last June M.Ward surprised fans with the digital release of his ninth solo album, What A Wonderful Industry. The record finally receives a proper physical release via M.Ward Records. Over the last decade Ward has released a string of acclaimed solo albums, as well as six LPs with Zooey Deschanel in the duo She and Him. Ward is also a member of the group Monsters of Folk alongside My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis, as well as a producer on albums for Mavis Staples, Jenny Lewis, and Carlos Forster.

Via Ward: “This is a record inspired by people in the industry I have known - heroes and villains in equal measure. There’s some beautiful moments when you travel for a living, and I’m grateful for being part of an industry that’s taken me around the world so many times - but you quickly learn there’s a perfectly imperfect balance of cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals in the zoo. This record visits the most memorable characters. There’s a lot of very inspirational people I’ve had the pleasure to work with but there are also a few I wish I’d never met. It all tragically ends with an imaginary Griffin Mill- inspired murder ballad. This album is a reminder to keep your friends close, your enemies closer and don’t let the ones that just need an extra couple hours of therapy bring you down. Anyway I hope you like it. All names have been changed to protect the innocent".
