Ross Ward first appeared at Bluesfest back in ’95 with the late Wiley Reed, where the idea for the band ‘Ward’s Xpress’ was originally conceived. Since that time he has appeared at 10 Bluesfest’s in Byron Bay and has enjoyed a long career in the industry with musical origins tracing back to 1969.

After appearing at virtually every major blues festival in the country, founding member and front-man Ross Ward relocated to Sydney in 2010 after 16 years on the far North Coast of NSW, but not before releasing four CD’s and picking up several music industry awards.

Landing back in Sydney, Ross instantly teamed up with old friends and musical cohorts Al Britton ( Bondi Cigars ) on bass and drummer Bruce Stephens ( Jon English ).
