Released in 2003, Transfiguration of Vincent is Matthew Ward aka M.Ward’s third album, a delicious infusion of folk and blues, dripping with deft guitar picking and oozing luscious lyrics.
Inspired by John Fahey’s 1965 album The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death, this extraordinary album of gritty stories and melody-drenched music is a tribute to Ward’s close friend Vincent O’Brien.
M.Ward last toured Australia in 2011 and increased his popularity with several collaborations including being one half of She and Him with Zooey Deschanel and a member of indie supergroup Monsters of Folk.
With ten albums under his belt, all released through Merge Records, M.Ward will perform in Sydney, Canberra, Queenscliff, Castlemaine, Melbourne, Brisbane and Eltham NSW in this special anniversary tour of one of the greatest blues-inspired Americana albums ever created.
