The JMW Band

About Me

Old friends, writing songs in the bedroom and recording on 4-tracks. Rare shows have grown from acoustic nights to full-band electric swing performances. The jmw band is an elusive project that has come together recently to electrify and perform the solo acoustic work of John Matthew Ward. "Late Last Night": the projects debut album was recorded in the summer but this collection of songs exists on old 4-track demo tapes from as early as 2003. Most of the songs were written by a reflective and melancholic 18yr old. The album can be played as folk or rock n roll or whatever. Ultimately they are songs. Today, the songs and music are swung by the band in flight to find a rock n roll outfit to match the pace in our hearts.j. m. w. This profile was made at www.profiletweaks.com
