Jim Ward

The devolution is complete. When Jim Ward was a member of At the Drive In, he helped create some of that era's most gripping, cutting-edge and important music. After ATDI collapsed, he led Sparta to make music that placed the band only a few steps behind rock's cutting edge, with sleek post-hardcore. Now, as a budding solo artist and with his new project Sleepercar, Ward seems to have found his inspiration.

Heading back to Australia this December to captivate his audience he will be performing a range of songs across his vast back catalogue. Jim states " I need a change of pace and a stretch after a long year on the road with Sleepercar, so I decided to end my year the way I started; by getting on a plane with my guitar and heading down to Australia to play some songs.”

A self taught guitarist and pianist Jim wowed fans and critics alike on his previous Australian tour “as he strums the opening chords to Sparta’s ‘Collapse’, there is an immediate sense of something very special happening. It is an earnest and humbling experience and definitely the highlight today” – Rave Magazine

Armed simply with a guitar and harmonica Jim Ward has the ability to make you feel like you’re just an overfilled backpack and bus ticket away from some fantastic journey or its fantastic end...see for yourself.
