Michael Ward has that rare ability to bring festival-sized heart into a space built for connection
Michael’s stage presence is unmistakable: grounded, generous, and electrifying. He doesn’t just perform to an audience — he performs with them. Every grin, every stomp, every guitar lick feels like an invitation.
You’re not an observer. You’re part of the moment.
Michael’s songwriting is rooted in shared human experience — the healing, the humour, the hurt, the hope. You feel it in the room. You feel it in your chest.
His shows are full-body experiences — joy, reflection, rhythm, and a kind of grounded humanity that stays with you long after the last chord rings out.
2025 saw new heights for Michael and the momentum he's riding. His latest single No Regrets gained his first airplay on any triple J network and the high octane song has found a regular place in his live set. Michael also performed prime time lineup positions on festivals across Australia as part of a comprehensive Australian Tour with over 11 festivals with headline artists including Hoodoo Guru's, The Potbelleez, The Wolfe Brothers, Adam Brand, Beccy Cole, Amber Lawrence, Baby Animals and heaps more.
To cap it all off Michael recieved his first ever WA Music (WAM) award nomination for Best blues act of the year.
And yes.... 2026 is shaping up to be bigger, better, bolder and wilder.
