LONG BIO
   Heavily influenced by his rural roots, and the singer-songwriters of the ’70s, Gordon Ward Thomas Ward is one of those rare artists whose multi-instrumental talents, vivid lyrics, mesmerizing stories, and distinctly personal vocal timbre makes one question whether singer-songwriter is an adequate description. His compositions do not follow the usual songwriter patterns or chase trends, and his lyrics cut deep, exploring love, the passage of time, and a search for meaning. His compelling performances and albums have endeared him to audiences for many years, and he shows no signs of slowing down with four GRAMMY-balloted albums in the last six years. Currently touring his new album Walking on the Wire, this award-winning, solo, multifaceted artist (singer-songwriter, author, and presenter), has produced four #1 charted songs and other compositions that have charted in the U.S. and abroad. Gordon has worked with noted producer and recording engineer Paul Wickliffe and notable musicians such as Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul, and Mary), Eric Troyer and Mik Kaminski (Electric Light Orchestra, and The Orchestra), ​Kevin Barry (Jackson Browne, James Taylor), Abbie Gardner, Carolann Solebello, Pat Wictor, Emily Mure, Caroline Cotter, Robbie Coffin, Scott Elliott, and Jud Caswell. He's also shared the stage and billing with Natalie Merchant, Christine Lavin, and Bill Staines. Gordon’s songs occupy a space filled with honesty, imagery, and emotion and walk a line between folk rock and soft country – always thoughtful, always heartfelt. As audiences often remark, “His music touches my heart, and I feel like he’s singing just to me.” Skope Magazine says, “When you think of the phenomenal story-tellers of yesteryear like Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, or James Taylor, Gordon Thomas Ward would be in that same vein for today [and] is setting the gold standard for singer-songwriters for generations to come.”
