NEWS... Cole & Ward have a new digital single, ahead of our album release later in the year. The single is Deep Blood Moon and is a tongue-in-cheek look at the way the full moon affects people - so basically, a werewolf song! 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!
