Sing a Sad, Sad Song - M. Ward Coming to the Metro
M. Ward (Wiki) (MySpace) is a skinny non-smoker from Portland, but his low-toned front porch sound could easily make you take him for a whiskey-chugging, three-pack-a-day Mississippian. September 8th, Ward comes to the Metro in support of his new record, Post-War. Some know Ward as a one-time bandmate of Grandaddy's Jason Lytle, others as the producer of Jenny Lewis's fine Rabbit Fur Coat album, and others still as the then-unknown who toured with My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst in a singer/songwriter tour during 2004. You can get to know him via MP3 here, here, and here. See him live on Austin City Limits with Conor Oberst via YouTube.
Brooklyn's psych-pop outfit Oakley Hall (MySpace) opens. Ticketmaster has tix now for $15, plus their usual exorbitant fees.
