Known for his poignant storytelling and irreverent sense of humor, Dylan Patrick Ward writes consoling songs for a cruel world.

Inspired by do-it-yourself pioneers like Daniel Johnston and the Mountain Goats, and by great musical tragicomedians like John Prine and Randy Newman, he draws most of all from his own first-hand experience with the humor and heartbreak of life in America's lower middle-class. 

One of the region's most promising up-and-comers, he’s been featured in the Monday Discover Series at Club Passim and the Emerging Artist Showcase at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. He’s also shared the stage with renowned national acts like Bill Callahan, Guy Davis, Jeffrey Lewis, Peter Mulvey and others.
