With one of them taking the form of Hollywood indie-star Zooey Deschanel and the other taking the form of a gifted singer-songwriter M Ward, She & Him have been turning a few heads since they first started working together in the last decade.
After meeting on the set of the movie “The Go-Getter” they have been creating interesting and stylish indie folk music that has made them very popular around the world. With big names in the line up and songs that have stood up in their own right She & Him tickets are certain to be a popular draw whenever they go on sale.
As well as Deschanel and Ward, She & Him are joined onstage with musicians such as Rachel Blumberg on the drums, Mike Mogis on the mandolin and Mike Coykendall on the bass. Together they have performed through tracks such as “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” and “In the Sun”, whilst appearing at the South by Southwest festival in 2008.
Deschnel and Ward were introduced by director Martin Hynes on the set of the movie “The Go-Getter” in 2007. Ward was already aware of Deschanel’s singing abilities from the movie “Elf”, in which she starred alongside Will Ferrell and due to their commonalities when it came to music, soon began to work together on original material. So whilst Deschanel continues to appear in movies such a “Yes Man”, “(500) Days of Summer” and “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”, she is also a singer in a well known band, demonstrating abilities in a number of areas.
Their first album together was the 2008 release “Volume One”, which they followed up with “Volume Two” in 2010. Singles from these albums have included “Ridin’ in my Car” and “Gonna Get Along Without You”. These albums and singles have made them a popular draw for fans of indie folk and will allow them to continue to make as much music as they desire in years to come.
Seeing She & Him live is certain to be a rare treat, in which a well known film star offers great quality songs in an unbeatable atmosphere. M Ward’s skills also manage to propel the band into new areas and when they go on sale, She & Him tickets are certain to sell out fast.
