In Vancouvers vibrant, bustling music scene, how does one begin to set oneself apart from the crowd? David Ward, born and raised in Vancouver, has somehow figured it out. Touring relentlessly across Canada and Japan since his full-length debut album, Never Meant to Know in 2006, Ward continues to push musical boundaries with his new ambitious three-part EP, The Arrival., exploring various genres including R&B and Motown. Ward himself has been compared to the likes of James Brown, Marvin Gaye and Jeff Buckley. The Arrival showcases his talents as a singer-songwriter combined with a theatre school background. Wards 2012 Western Canadian tour begins Friday, May 18 at the Rickshaw Theatre. An all-ages event, tickets are $10, and begins at 7:30pm.
