Mike Ward

On this episode we chat with singer/songwriter Mike Ward and fans Steve, Danny, Lori, and Angela. Mike’s most recent release called The Darkness and The Light is a showcase of brilliant stories full of emotion and played to perfection. I was reminded of Jason Isbell in that Mike is fearless in his songwriting and has the same rich vocal timbre. During our chat we got the backstory on what he means by “Psycho songs” as well as insight into how his craft of songwriting and how he got started.

Mike is putting the finishing touches on his new record which should be released later this year. We talked a bit about some of the video shoots he’s collaborated on with his son Danny. It wouldn’t be a true Fans With Bands episode without getting into favorite topics such as first albums. As always, we wrapped it up with a discussion on pizza toppings.
