SIMON STANLEY WARD has been performing almost non stop since his teenage years! Over the last decade, Simon has been playing his original music with his band The Shadows of Doubt in pubs, music venues, theatres and festivals in London, across the UK and in Northern Spain. Described as a country singer at heart with a streak of the surreal running through him, his live show with his band The Shadows Doubt is engaging, energetic and constantly evolving. At it’s best his performances can be gut-wretchingly moving and moments later silly, self deprecating and hilarious. His influences come from far a wide and include Elvis, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Patty Smith and John Otway!

Simon’s band The Shadows of Doubt have been playing with him since 2013. A highly experienced, skilled and versatile outfit which includes Paul Lush (Lead guitarist/Producer), Neil Marsh (Drums) and Geoff Easeman (Bass guitar). Guitarist Paul Lush was nominated for Best Instrumentalist at The ‘UK Americana Awards’ in 2016 for his fantastic work with Danny and The Champions of the World.
