Dylan Patrick Ward is a folk misfit from Vermont’s dirty south. He played his first venue show at Stage 33 Live and has been going gangbusters ever since, earning respect in the worlds of folk and indie music for his imaginative and poignant songs steeped in irreverent dark humor about outcasts, oddballs, and people on the brink. He’s been compared to musical humorists John Prine and Loudon Wainwright, and indie-rock / antifolk legends the Mountain Goats and Paul Baribeau.

“He’s funny. He’s also as serious as an ax handle.” – Peter Mulvey

Ian Galipeau, who produced the album, is also on the bill. An indie songwriter for hopeful cynics who cry at It’s A Wonderful Life, despise TV news, and are anxious about climate change, he doesn’t just write simple love songs. Although he could.
