We caught Mister Ward live at the Palace of Fine Arts. He was there supporting his new album, which is solid and consistent with his other stuff. Great show. He’s a better guitarist than he gets credit for, and damn good at piano too. Also, the sound engineering in this hall was nearly perfect, up there with the best I have ever seen…err, heard. It was like sitting in front of a high quality stereo. And the window projection up there in the right was fun, it changed subtly with the mood of the songs. My favorite was the sunset that moved into dusk with fireflies flitting about… this accompanying a solo song with mellow acoustic slide, heavy on the reverb. Nice work. Check out his official site for tour dates, and catch him if he comes to town.
