NEWS... Cole & Ward have a second digital single, ahead of our album release at the end of March. The single is Midnight Motorway Blues and is about the pain of late night road closures, when you're tired and just want to get home. You can watch the video here on YouTube and you can hear and buy it at our Bancamp page. Enjoy!
Blues in Britain magazine (issue 222) contains a two page interview that I had with journalist Shaun Freke. You can read the interview if you visit the Article gallery on my Gallery page. Blues in Britain is an excellent magazine so please consider subscribing if you love your Blues and Americana. Also, don't forget you can purchase my music - either on CD form or digitally from Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, etc. Every little helps!
