I caught M. Ward earlier today. Here are my notes.

M. Ward performs at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Friday, April 17.
M. Ward has taken the stage at the Outdoor Theatre and has mellowed out the crowd for Molotov that was chanting a word that I think was forbidden in my high school Spanish class.
The people here are appreciative and enjoying his mellow music, despite the dance beats coming from the tents around the area.
He had some sound problems at the beginning of his set. His acoustic guitar kept cutting out and he joked that it was still a sound check.
He also played the rockin’ tune off his new album, “Hold Time,” called “Never Had Nobody Like You,” which is my personal favorite.
