Jim Ward Reshedules Cancelled Show

ATDI and Sparta guitar dude Jim Ward will play a 'solo' show in Sydney while out for Splendour In The Grass.

Jim Ward, founding member of seminal post-hardcore band At The Drive In and lead guitarist/vocalist of Sparta, will reschedule his previously cancelled Sydney show, accompanied by a full band, to perform electric versions of the 14 beautifully crafted tracks featured on his debut album Quiet In The Valley, On The Shore, The End Begins.

It was with deep sadness that Ward cancelled his show at the Sandringham Hotel in January this year after the tragic death of a dear friend.  With Ward back in the country to perform at Splendour In The Grass Festival it seemed the perfect opportunity to reschedule the cancelled Sydney show.

You can catch Jim Ward and band at the Annandale Hotel, Sydney on Wednesday 25 July, supported by Jen Buxton.
