Jordan Ward Shares NPR ‘Tiny Desk’ Performance
Ward’s European and UK tour will begin in London, England, on December 8.
Jordan Ward stopped by NPR’s Tiny Desk to offer up a performance of songs across his discography. He shared renditions of “Lil Baby Crush,” “MUSTARD,” “FLIGHTS,” “WHITE CROCS,” “FAMJAM4000,” and “CHERIMOYA.”
Ashley Pointer of NPR wrote, “Jordan Ward showed up to NPR headquarters radiating with a warm energy that felt familiar, like linking up with your favorite cousins at the cookout. After all, the immense amount of creativity and synergy displayed by Ward and his bandmates during this Tiny Desk performance is indicative of pure fellowship.” Check out the full performance below.
Last month, the buzzing talent out of St. Louis, Missouri, announced he will take his TOURWORLD 23 tour to Europe in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The first show will be taking place in London, England, on December 8, with the next string of concerts taking place on December 10 in Brussels, Belgium, December 11 in Cologne, Germany, December 12 in Paris, France, and December 14 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The European leg will then close out with a pair of shows in the German cities of Munich and Berlin on December 15-16.
Jordan Ward also recently unleashed a new music video for “ZOOMIES” off his latest release, moreward(Forward). The Rae Blackman-directed home movie-style video finds Ward getting the most out of his leisure time out and about during the U.S. and London legs of his tour, TOURWARD 23.
SPIN Magazine recently featured Jordan Ward and called him “an obvious candidate for near-immediate stardom.” Ward was also featured on the cover of Spotify’s new Frequency magazine, in which he was called an “iridescent star on the rise.” Jordan Ward’s debut album FORWARD, which was released in March, has been nothing short of a success, with fans and critics alike praising the project for its creativity and more. In keeping this stellar run going, Ward has released moreward(FORWARD), the deluxe edition of his hit debut album.
