Marcus Alan Ward: In Pursuit

Every day many of Ohio's' most talented and motivated walk through our door to be outfitted for their biggest months. We're excited to spotlight that talent by giving them the stage to share their ambitions with you over a beer or two.

This July, we turned up the heat with rising electro-soul artist Marcus Alan Ward. His one-man-band style performance and unique grooves made everyone move.

The self taught multi-instrumentalist and Cleveland, Ohio native spent his middle and high school days in and out of bands, later discovering and being exposed to jazz, soul, hip hop, electronic music, and more obscure sounds in college. After releasing a pair of EP’s under the initial “Freeze-Tag” moniker (2012’s WLDFLWR_HNY and 2013’s Eskimo) the artist released his debut full length album Last Night I Grew Tentacles via his own Long Division Recordings in August of 2014, under his own name. Ward says of the name change, “It really draws distinction to the fact that I’m a one man composer and that it’s just me, it’s more honest.”

The 'In Pursuit' Concert Series is a unique in-store music experience in the heart of the Short North in Columbus, Ohio.
