In the three years since M. Ward released his last solo album, Hold Time,  he’s toured the globe, released two albums as one half of Grammy-nominated duo She & Him as well as one with the talented group of friends collectively known as Monsters Of Folk.  A Wasteland Companion, available on Merge Records, features some of the finest songwriting and most striking delivery of his career. M. Ward will be taking his band on the road again to several cities in North American, including the Austin City Limits Festival, Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival in Seattle, and a recently announced hometown show at the Aladdin Theatre in Portland.

M. Ward recently visited David Letterman's studio for a performance of "Primitive Girl". Watch it HERE<http://youtu.be/yzyLntWSJWo>.

“…A Wasteland Companion shows yet again why Ward can be placed in the higher echelon of contemporary American songwriters. He is bold, creative, and has clearly not forgotten that behind every stellar production resides an equally stellar song.” - American Songwriter
