Jim Ward has announced the forthcoming release of Half A World Away (Live In Studio) via Dine Alone Records. The album is out March 17 and is culled from a livestream Jim performed around the release of his 2021 solo album Daggers. Jim shares, “I wanted to do some kind of release show for Daggers and things weren't quite ready to do an actual in person show, so we decided to broadcast from a recording studio. Matt Miller and I were able to meet up at Star City Studios in El Paso but our drummer Mathew Gardner lives in Sydney and wasn't able to travel due to strict restrictions- so we decided to record live in separate studios half a world away. We were so pleased with the final result that we decided to release it.”

In support of Half A World Away (Live In Studio) Ward and his band Sparta will be touring Texas with dates that kick off on March 19 in El Paso where he is based. All dates are listed below.
