Diane
Ward Born
and
raised
in
Miami,
Diane's
talents
were
nurtured
by some
of the
finest
musicians
in the
state.
In 1995,
pursuing
an
acoustic
sound
she
teamed
with
Jack
Shawde,
whose
eloquent
guitar
work
helped
bring
her
songs
and
characters
to life.
Jack's
career
has
encompassed
projects
and
tours
with
such
notables
as Bob
Dylan,
Dr.
John,
Paul
Butterfield,
John
Mayall,
Al
Kooper,
and Stan
Lynch of
the
Heartbreakers.
Diane's
signature
voice has
power and
range, but
it's the
nuances and
raw emotion
that
ultimately
connect her
with the
listener.
She believes
that "each
song has its
own purpose,
and a
special
voice, it
has to
contribute
something
spiritually
and
emotionally."
