Hollywood Records-signed singer/songwriter ZZ Ward first burst onto the international scene in 2012 with “Til The Casket Drops.” “Last Love Song” and the album’s title track would go on to be used by the show “Pretty Little Liars,” while “365 Days” and”Put The Gun Down” also charted high. In 2017, her next full-length album “The Storm,” reached #1 on the Billboard Blues Album chart, also yielding some more hit singles.

On July 22, ZZ Ward is participating in “Songs to Save Them All: A Benefit For Homeless Pets,” a three-hour benefit concert for Best Friends Animal Society streaming 4 PM PT. Also performing will be Sam Nelson Harris from X Ambassadors, Amythyst Kiah, gnash, Natalie Taylor, Mondo Cozmo, Elah Hale, Aaron Frazer from Durand Jones and The Indications, and Katie Toupin. Amanda Seyfried, Justin Theroux, Kat Dennings, Bob Odenkirk, Cecily Strong, Zosia Mamet, and Cameron Monaghan are also expected to make appearances.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, ZZ Ward was on tour and had released a new single called “Break Her Heart.” I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Ward on July 17. She spoke about working with Best Friends Animal Society (starting at 00:32), the discovery of her 91´«Ă˝ roots (starting at 4:32), and future projects (starting at 10:49).
