DON'T MISS!: A WARD FOR BROOKLYN
When asked how, between She & Him, his duo with Zooey Deschanel, and supergroup Monsters of Folk, M. Ward still manages to keep up his solo career, the troubadour responds: “It’s easier than it might look; I have a calendar on my Android.” On Tuesday, Ward joins local legends Yo La Tengo and “Daily Show” comedian Wyatt Cenac for a Celebrate Brooklyn! benefit to support the free concert series at the Prospect Park Bandshell. “New York probably has the best audiences in America,” Ward says, where “people just seem to get involved in the music in ways that you can see.” So expect to be part of great show with, Ward says, “nothing pre-programmed, just actual people playing their instruments.”
