  • ZZ Ward

    One of the most profound lessons ZZ Ward learned from growing up listening to the blues greats was to be authentic to your story. When the LA-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist began to write new music, she found herself in the midst of one of the biggest life changes a person will ever experience: motherhood. The resulting music is her truest and most blues-infused to date. Freed from the pop pressures of her previous major label, ZZ is able to fully embrace the blues, her most formative influence. Her Sun Records debut, Liberation, features a program of originals and re-imagined blues favorites done in ZZ's singular way. Encompassing greasy Chicago blues, foot-stomping Delta blues, rootsy garage rock, and vintage soul, the album is almost a ZZ-curated survey of the blues. ZZ Ward will be performing with Special Guest: McKinley James!
