Jim Ward on Sparta's Cut A Silhouette, The Current State Of Touring, And Women Who Rock!

Jim Ward returns to talk with Dave about Sparta's new album Cut a Silhouette, out now on Equal Vision Records. Ward shares how a manager's blunt critique sparked three of the record's best songs, working with Jawbox founder and producer J. Robbins as a shepherd and mentor, and bridging his earliest work with who he is now. The two discuss the ticket price fatigue reshaping the touring industry, co-founding the Girls Rock camp in El Paso, Hayley Williams, and the elusive "Jims" supergroup featuring Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World.https://www.sparta.band/ directeditionpodcast.comJoin The Patreon - www.patreon.com/davengersdirecteditionSupport the show
