Hold Time

Description

M. Wards brilliant guitar playing and innate sense of melody ensure that by day more music fans continue to fall under his whispered spell. A true American treasure. M. Wards rise to international renown has been something of a slow burn. Initially a well-kept secret of his peers in the Portland folk scene, his star has continued to rise with each records release to the lofty position he finds himself in today; one of Americas most acclaimed modern musicians.

Hold Time is an eloquent and startlingly beautiful album, which includes guest performances by Jason Lytle, Lucinda Williams, Tom Hagerman (DeVotchka) and Zooey Deschanel.
While past critics have compared him to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to his old friend Howe Gelb, its clear that M. Ward is cutting his own groove.
