M. Ward Biography

Matthew Stephen Ward began sketching out songs deeply rooted in the classic traditions of American country-folk. Ward's first solo effort came in the form of Duet for Guitars #2 which was written and recorded while he was living between Chicago and various locales on the West Coast. Eventually the album was placed in the hands of the ever enigmatic Giant Sand mastermind Howe Gelb who released it on his own Ow Om Recordings in the fall of 2000. The record enjoyed favorable reviews and a considerable amount of attention in underground rock circles and Ward supported it with a handful tours throughout the United States and Europe. In 2008 after collaborating on a song for the film The Go-Getter with actress Zooey Deschanel the unlikely duo released a well-received album of covers and Deschanel originals called Volume One under the moniker She & Him. Ward returned to the studio later that year to begin work on his next full-length offering; 2009's Hold Time which featured guest vocals from Deschanel Jason Lytle and Lucinda Williams arrived in early 2009.
