Happy New Decade!

Thanks to everybody who attended any of the crazy spate of shows I’ve had in the last couple months. I’ve loved hanging out with you.

Latest mind-blowing news: The High Lonesome, the roots-rock-alt-country band that I was in in the 90s, has released all of our studio recordings on a single remastered Collector’s Album–featuring two new songs just recorded by the original five guys! It’s available for download at the usual places, and available for purchase as a CD on CDBaby.com and others.

Here’s our new website; go there and get the album, see lots of pictures, and listen to some rarities: thehighlonesomeonline.com.

And this just in! Folk Alliance International is creating their first Folk Alliance War & Politics Compilation CD and download site. The proceeds from this CD will go to help Folk Alliance establish a fund to provide folk instruments for returning injured combat soldiers and war veterans. Pretty great, eh? And yes, this CD will feature a song from me: “Stupid,” off my 2009 CD “Do Not Insert In Ear Canal.”

More on where to find the Folk Alliance CD when I know it!

Love,

Help Haiti!

I know everybody’s doing what they can these days to help the people of Haiti, and that’s fantastic. Here’s another way, if you’ve got more bucks and want an entertaining bang: on Wednesday January 28, I’ll be performing at a benefit show at the ComedySportz Theatre in Hollywood. The show will go from 8 to 11 pm, more or less, and I’m scheduled to do a song or two in the first hour. A $10 donation gets you in, and you can stay for as much as you’d like. There will be improv from several LA-area groups, plus stand-up comedy and musical acts including, toward the end, the toe-tapping Dustbowl Cavaliers, friends of mine whose bluegrassy/country/rocky tunes will have you jumping in your seat. There will be wine, beer, baked goods and other stuff available for a donation, and a raffle! 100% of all proceeds go directly to two worthy Haitian projects.

Here’s an address that’ll get you directions to ComedySportz, which is at 733 N Seward St, Hollywood, 90038: http://www.comedysportzla.com/about/directions-and-parking.html

And this is kinda cool: if you’ve been thinking about buying or downloading my latest CD, Do Not Insert In Ear Canal, now’s the time to go fetch it at CDBaby.com, because the good folks there will donate $1 to the American Red Cross and to Mercy Corps for every CD sold/downloaded, thru February 8. You can find me on their website at http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/PhilWard.

Thanks, and let’s never forget how lucky we are!
