Detroit singer-songwriter Mike Ward is known for his lyrically-centric, vocally-charged folk songs. While growing up in Port Huron, Michigan, he listened to the Irish music of his heritage and sang in several choirs before digesting the influential sounds of Simon & Garfunkel, Dylan, Springsteen and John Prine. These days, he finds inspiration in the works of Jason Isbell, Sarah Jarosz and John Paul White. His intimate songwriting echoes through empty city streets, back country roads and family portraits. It also resides in the hidden spaces between joy and tragedy, love and loss.
“From the moment you hear that guitar, and that voice, you're transported, back to a heavy-hearted memory where you're able to access some heretofore unfound resolve, all from that sweet, raspy, wistful voice over rhythmic chords regaling stories of the everyday and the everyman that somehow sound mythic in this delivery. (Love Never Rest) is full of beautiful, forthright, sincere vocals, rich acoustic guitar, orchestral arrangements and some brilliant cameos” -Jeff Milo | Milo Minute, WDET
