M ward
M.ward is one of my favourite singer songwriters of our time. His gentle style of folk rock, his incredible guitar playing and his beautiful dark crispy voice (yes, it’s crispy). I had the opportunity to see him perform twice. The first time was in 2006 in Paris, France. It was an acoustic set which blew me away and turned me into his fan ever since. The second time was in London where he opened for the wonderful Feist. It wasn’t as good as the acoustic set, but it was still well worth it.
Tonight (June 25th 2014) M.ward is performing in Tel Aviv and as a tribute, I recorded a cover of his song “Chinese Translation”. A simple recording in my studio with no overdubs, just vocals and acoustic guitar together. Here goes;
