Biography

Kristen Ward can’t help but smile when mentioning her co-production effort alongside Seattle producer, Brad Zeffren to make her most recent album, “Charles”. The album was recorded entirely in a 70’s era Seattle apartment and was Ward’s first serious recording experience outside of the big studio. “We wanted to do something really different”, she says, “And that’s what we got, a much more intimate record”.

With the exception of a haunting trumpet solo by Billy Joe Huels (The Dusty 45’s), the record was performed entirely by Kristen Ward and Gary Westlake, her right-hand man and beloved guitarist whose credits include work with Peter Frampton, Maurice and the Clichés, Pearl Jam, and Jim Carroll. “The album is a product of my life and could be properly expressed through the very close musical connection I share with Gary”, Ward says. “Gary and I worked on some of those songs for months. Some for years”.
In 2009, Kristen and her band were moving full-steam ahead through the pre-production of “Last Night on Division”, Ward’s much anticipated rock record. The record was to be her third, but things took a sudden turn. Ward shrugs, “ I suppose there were some things I needed to get out. Some things I had to say before I could do a rock record, and I’m glad for it”.

    I first heard Kristen Ward in the podcast Kitaro's Sideshow (www.sideshow.co.il). I heard only one song by Kristen, Best I Can, and really loved it, so I set up her page here with her picture and bio. I hope more of you will now listen to her. Enjoy ;-)
