M. Ward Adds XX Merge Festival & Austin (Antone's) To His Tour Itinerary

A few weeks back we posted the tour dates for M. Ward on North American tour, as well as a video for his rendition of Buddy Holly's "Rave On". Since then, he's decided to stay on the road and chosen to add a few more dates to his tour, with the inclusion of the XX Merge Festival and a stop here in Austin as well. He'll be performing at Antone's on August 4th, with tickets ($20) set to go on sale this Saturday at 10am.

We strongly suggest purchasing his new album Hold Time.
