Mike Ward

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

Mike has an intimate songwriting style that reflects family, community and the world that surrounds us. His own fear of leaving that world without making a difference in the lives of others is part of what drives him.
