M. Ward has canceled a pair of East Coast shows following the cancellation of East Hampton, NY’s Music To Know Festival. The affected dates include Ward’s August 11 appearance at Montclair, NJ’s The Wellmont Theatre and his August 12 show at North Adams, MA’s MASS MoCa. In a statement Ward says, “I’m extremely disappointed that Music To Know has been canceled. Without the funding we can’t make the trip out there. We sincerely apologize to everyone who had already bought tickets. We’ll be back as soon as we can.” Ticketholders should contact the point of purchase for
refund details.
