M. Ward + Lee Ranaldo Band

Quiet but prolific singer-songwriter M. Ward is now looking at a decade of pop orchestrations, from his solo work and collaborating with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him to indie supergroup Monsters of Folk. Tonight you'll hear from A Wasteland Companion, his seventh release on his own (though Zooey does make an appearance or two)—a naturally timeless collection of experimental folk songs that dip a toe into rose-colored pop and quaint nostalgia. Sonic Youth hero Lee Ranaldo opens in support of his new album, Between the Times and the Tides.
