May Rock 50 Preview
Posted on May.11, 2018, under Rock 50
Hi Everyone,
Rock 50 airs on Saturday, May 12, 2018. It’s the second birthday show in a series of three. This show comes after my 70th birthday on 5/5/18. We’re playing across-the-board music – songs that span my lifetime – so you will hear Rock ‘n’ Roll, Pop, Rock, Classic Rock, Metal, and all kinds of things in between: songs that have stayed with me since my childhood. I hope you can check us out.
Rock forever and ever,
Bill
April Rock 50 Recap
Posted on Apr.22, 2018, under Rock 50
Last weekend was the April edition of Rock 50. It was the first of three consecutive shows surrounding Bill’s 70th birthday. Much was discussed and much was played. If you missed the show, you can check out these materials:
First is the playlist – direct from the studio and Bill’s staff. You can download the entire playlist here.
Second is this video – which shows some highlights from the show.
Finally, you can check out the entire playlist on Spotify if you subscribe to that service. We have the playlist available as a playlist from Bill’s Spotify account. Save for one song, which Spotify does not have on their service (that song was “Christploitation” by Fear Factory).

Bill Ward / Day Of Errors Tour Dates Canceled
Posted on Nov.20, 2017, under Day of Errors
Hi Everyone,
It’s with great, great sadness that I must tell you I have to cancel the Day Of Errors tour dates scheduled in December. I wound up in hospital this past weekend with heart problems. I am OK and in good recovery at this time. However, I’ve never experienced this particular type of heart problem before, and due to its nature, I had to make the decision to cancel the dates. I want to send my sincere apologies to everyone who was planning to come out to the shows. I’m so sorry we won’t be making it – I was looking forward to seeing you all and sharing this music with you. I’ll be in touch soon.
All my love,
Bill
