Detroit singer-songwriter Mike Ward is known for his lyrically-centric, vocally-charged folk songs. Born in the 50โs, grew up in the conscious-raising 60โs, where a new awareness of the world was colliding around him. Influences are the likes of Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne and Joan Baez, with his own songs offering a dose of self-deprecating humor in the vein of John Prine and Louden Wainwright III.
