Eleri Ward (born August 10, 1994)[1][2] is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and actress, best known for her Sufjan Stevens-inspired indie folk renditions of the works of composer Stephen Sondheim. Since garnering attention with covers posted to Instagram and TikTok, Ward has released two albums in this vein, A Perfect Little Death (2021) and Keep a Tender Distance (2022), both on Sh-K-Boom Records' Ghostlight imprint, as well as two self-released pop EPs, Prism (2020) and Friction (2021). In summer 2022, she toured with singer Josh Groban. As a stage actress, she has performed in productions for The Muny and MCC Theater.
Early life[edit]
Ward grew up in the Burr Ridge suburb of Chicago, Illinois.[3][4][5][6] Her mother was an interior designer and real estate broker, while her father was a consultant.[6] Displaying an early interest in performing, Ward began violin and piano lessons at age 5, in addition to dabbling in viola and alto saxophone,[7][8][6][9] and began singing lessons at age 8.[8][4] She was also involved in a children's theater school, where she made her stage debut in a production of The Sound of Music.[8] Ward attended high school at the Chicago Academy for the Arts, where she sang as Amy in a production of Company and where her department heads, Andy Robinson and Pat Musk, first introduced her to the work of Stephen Sondheim when she was 14.[10][7][11] At a young age, she saw Sweeney Todd performed at the Drury Lane Theatre and attended a Sondheim talk with critic Frank Rich.[6]
Ward studied songwriting at the Berklee College of Music in Boston for a year, before transferring to the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, where she graduated with a BFA in musical theatre with an emphasis in songwriting and acting.[4][10][11][6] During her second year at Boston Conservatory in 2015, Ward, feeling she had "hit a plateau" with the piano, taught herself to play guitar after buying one from a friend.[7][6] After graduating, she moved to New York City, where she worked day jobs while auditioning for theater roles.[11]
Music career[edit]
A Perfect Little Death[edit]
Ward's music career began in March 2019 with an acoustic cover of Sondheim's "Every Day a Little Death" from A Little Night Music, which she posted to Instagram with the caption "Sufjan on Sondheim".[10][8][11][12] Encouraged by the cover's positive reception and urged on by a friend, she began posting a series of such covers, beginning with "Johanna (Reprise)" from Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, first posted the following day.[10][6] She also began posting the covers to YouTube in 2019.[9]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ward and her boyfriend moved from New York to Boston,[6] and Ward self-released two pop EPs – Prism in May 2020 and Friction in June 2021.[11] The latter was recorded in Brooklyn with producer Allen Tate.[13][14] In August 2020, Ward was one of 30 semi-finalists of Playbill's Search for a Star competition, for which she performed "The Miller's Song" from A Little Night Music.[2] She began uploading her Sondheim covers to TikTok in January 2021 at the advice of a friend.[6][12] Further developing a following on the app, Ward was inspired to create an album of her Sondheim covers, A Perfect Little Death, which she recorded over the course of a month in the walk-in closet of her apartment.[10][11][12] She initially promoted this music under the name SUF/SOND, before Sondheim's legal representatives gently discouraged her from doing so.[11][7]
After making a TikTok asking BroadwayWorld to write about her album, Ward was interviewed by the website, which brought her to the attention of Sh-K-Boom Records founder Kurt Deutsch.[6] This led Deutsch to Ward's cover of "Johanna (Reprise)" on TikTok, and he subsequently contacted her and agreed to distribute her album via Sh-K-Boom's Ghostlight imprint.[6][3][12] A Perfect Little Death was released on Ghostlight in 2021, with a digital release on June 4 and a physical release on October 1.[6][15]
To promote the album, Ward and Ghostlight held two album release shows at Rockwood Music Hall in Manhattan.[11][6][3] The first of these shows was attended by singer Josh Groban, who had been given Ward's album by Warner Music Group executive Kevin Gore. Groban invited her to join his Harmony Tour, alongside Lucia Micarelli and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.[6][3][16]
Keep a Tender Distance[edit]
Ward's covers gained wider attention following Sondheim's death in November 2021.[6][11] She performed at Joe's Pub in March 2022, including a duet of "Loving You" from Sondheim's Passion with Donna Murphy, who had previously performed the song as the play's original Fosca.[3][6]
Ward's second album of Sondheim covers, Keep a Tender Distance, was recorded at Better Company Studios in Brooklyn, and saw Tate return as producer, with his San Fermin bandmate Ellis Ludwig-Leone handling string arrangements[3][6] and Nathan Schram performing violin and viola.[17] The album was released digitally by Ghostlight on September 16, 2022,[18][6] later receiving a CD release on February 24, 2023.[19] Singles released from the album included "No One Is Alone" from Into the Woods and "Not While I'm Around" from Sweeney Todd.
A national tour to promote the album was launched with a December 2022 show at Sony Hall, where Ward performed with surprise guests including Laura Benanti, Julia Murney, Jennifer Simard, Company's Bobby Conte and Six's Samantha Pauly.[20][21][4][6] Another tour, billed as "The Tender Tour", was launched in February 2023 at the City Winery, with planned stops in Boston, Washington, D.C., Chicago, and Philadelphia.[19]
Theatre[edit]
Ward was an ensemble performer in The Muny's 2016 production of The Wizard of Oz, directed by John Tartaglia.[11][22] In September 2021, she performed at the venue 54 Below as part of Ryan Scott Oliver's "RSO: Monday the 13th", alongside Kathryn Allison, Jackie Cox, Jay Armstrong Johnson, and Bonnie Milligan.[23][24] She contributed an essay to When The Lights Are Bright Again, a book about the impact of the pandemic on the theater industry, and attended the book's launch party alongside Cody Renard Richard, Jonathan Cerullo, Kate Baldwin, and Arian Moayed.[25][26] In May 2022, she performed at the 10th annual "Night of a Thousand Judys", a Judy Garland tribute concert hosted at Joe's Pub, which benefitted the Ali Forney Center and also featured Frances Ruffelle, Nathan Lee Graham, Kathryn Gallagher, Bonnie Milligan, and Hilary Kole.[27][28]
Ward made her off-Broadway debut as an understudy in MCC Theater's 2022 production of Only Gold, a musical with songs by Kate Nash and a book by Andy Blankenbuehler, which starred Nash, Terrence Mann, Karine Plantadit, and Ryan Steele.[29][3][6] Ward again collaborated with the MCC Theater in March 2023 for their annual showcase Miscast23, which was livestreamed from the Hammerstein Ballroom. The concert, which honored Vanessa Williams and Lianny Toval, saw Ward perform alongside Jordan Cooper, Jordan Donica, Jose Llana, Dylan Mulvaney, Rachel Zegler, Annaleigh Ashford, Josh Groban, LaChanze, Bonnie Milligan, and Ben Platt.[30][31][32]
Artistry and recognition[edit]
Ward is primarily known for covering the work of Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim in an acoustic indie folk style inspired by Sufjan Stevens.[6][7][11][10][16][33][34]
- Besides Stevens, Ward's other cited influences include Caroline Polachek, Andrew Bird, Lianne La Havas, St. Vincent, and Still Woozy,[34][9][35][13][36][33] and her style has also been compared to Laura Marling, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Joan Shelley.[34][17]
- [3]
- Ward has "fused an emo Sondheim register with a familiar coffeehouse folk sound, adding delicate fingerpicking guitar accompaniment to support her limber, expressive soprano"
- About "Marry Me a Little": "Ward’s voice, alternating between what Murphy called the “whistle tones” of falsetto and a Fosca-like lower register, conveys crushing need more than sunny optimism."
- [7]
- interviewer feels that Ward's style is more fingerstyle folk, closer to Joan Baez and Joan Shelley than Sufjan Stevens
- Ward clarifies in response that she is primarily inspired by Stevens' Carrie & Lowell and The Age of Adz albums, and that much of her inspiration from him came in layering guitar picking patterns
- Ward learned barre chords with the help of her boyfriend and utilized them on "In Buddy's Eyes"
- Interviewer notes that Sondheim's arrangements emphasize accompaniment figures and harmonies over melody, whereas Ward emphasizes the melodies more
- Mostly avoids Sondheim's moments of harsh dissonance except on "Pretty Women", which ends with pinging discord: "When I first made the recording, I played it for my boyfriend and he was like, “The ending sounds weird.” And I was like, “Good.”"
- [8]
- Ward feels that, while Stevens and Sondheim "couldn't be more different", they "share a poeticism that surrounds the sweet juxtaposition of beauty and darkness. They both dive right into the heart of what others might find somber and illuminate it with a sense of elegance and charm that makes that darkness palatable and enchanting."
- [37] (Review of second album by Ricky Pope for BroadwayWorld)
- Ward's voice is "supple, rangy" and "deeply rooted in emotion and story."
- second album has more instruments and backing vocals
- "She takes the essential ingredients of Sondheim's songs, mixes in new and thoughtful harmonic structures, and a dash of her own creative magic to reassemble something that is greater than the sum of its parts. She is quite faithful to Sondheim's melodic lines, breathing new life into these standards through harmonies and new tempos. Her fondness for keys that are more modal than either major or minor is a perfect match for the frequent ambivalence of some of Sondheim's more brittle lyrics."
- "Another Hundred People" features electronic elements
- "The Miller's Son" features waltz, bossa nova, and fandango sections
- [33] (second album track-by-track for Playbill)
- Johanna (Reprise): "I wanted to create an organic flow in and out of all four parts, including the Beggar Woman. So, instead of the Beggar Woman interjecting as she does in the original sequence, I wanted her to be woven into the song, ultimately creating a verse-chorus song structure with different colors painted on each verse and chorus. The chords I use are inspired by the melody rather than taking from the original orchestration, and are in fact quite simple in order to support all four vocal parts. I believe the chordal simplicity allows the beauty in the melodies to soar, which when you’re watching the actual show, could possibly be overlooked."
- "In my version of “Every Day a Little Death,” I wanted to capture Sondheim’s writing within the raw simplicity of my guitar and the two vocal lines. With a stripped arrangement, the heart of the song could shine through for me."
- "Pretty Women": " I took this song in 4/4 time instead of 3/4 because it naturally fell there for me, and I found it actually gives the song a little more space. I found I could really relish in the lyrics and draw out different notes, which is fun since it’s a tune about savoring all of the things that make women so alluring, and I get to savor each of those things as they’re sung all the more with that extra beat in each measure."
- Children Will Listen: "This is the first track on the album where I got more involved with the arrangement, adding vocal doubles, writing harmonies, and layering picking patterns on the guitar, which is a Stevens staple in a lot of his acoustic work....I would say my rendition of “Children Will Listen” is the Sondheim sister to Stevens’ “Carrie & Lowell,” minus the banjo and sleigh bells, while adding a lot more harmonies. Harmonies are omnipresent in my brain when listening to or writing anything, so when it came to answering my question of “how am I going to create everything I’m envisioning with just my guitar and my voice?,” the answer was in layering, which I had a lot of fun doing while recording. My favorite part of this arrangement is the ending section of vocal rounds that roll into one another. I couldn’t figure out the best way to end the song, so I thought “what would Sufjan do?” He uses a lot of call and response and repetition of phrases in his work, and it ended up tying up my version well."
- Loving You: "I wanted the chords to have a movement that constantly shifts and swirls through the song to keep up with where the vocal line goes. The harmonies organically called to me, as did the vocal interlude....As for the textural “ha ha” vocals that underscore that moment, Stevens adds a lot of layered feeling, or a build-up, so I took inspiration from that idea. In this instance, I also stole from Caroline Polachek’s “Go as a Dream.” All great artists borrow for their inspirations, and sometimes the thing you snag from another artist can be the thing to take your own art to a whole new level."
- The Finishing Hat: The chords I used for this arrangement are directly inspired by Stevens’ “Futile Devices.” While I do deviate from those exact chords throughout, they establish a hypnotic baseline that my take on “Finishing the Hat” is built from.....I didn’t want that repetition to feel flat after hearing it over and over again, so I layered in keyboard and piano, and towards the end, a quarter note drone that pushes through the chords to the end. Stevens uses a lot of droning notes that connect and pass through musical phrases, but I also think it’s a cheeky way to allude to the dabbing of a paintbrush, and the nods to painting that Sondheim does so well throughout the score of Sunday in the Park with George."
- [10]
- Ward's version of "In Buddy's Eyes" was inspire by Barbara Cook's rendition
- "Prior to her new album A Perfect Little Death (Ghostlight Records), Ward mostly worked in some collaborative union. The album was an open door to explore her more folk-driven, songwriter half, one she didn’t know was initially there while visiting the musical stories of Stephen Sondheim through the soundscape of Sufjan Stevens."
- “I was just inspired by this whole idea of taking fun time songs and making them into this moody folk thing,” says Ward, who continued to sporadically capture various songs within the Sondheim catalog. “Sometimes it took a couple of days in between arrangements and other times it took months and months. It was never anything that was a priority. It was very much for my own enjoyment, a creative exercise of sorts.”
- “There’s something about the conflict and the humanity and the darkness within his work that really speaks to me because it’s raw, and it’s real if art imitates life, then why would it be any other way?”
- I don’t want to listen to a song and all is bright unless I’m listening to some jazz standards while I’m drinking a glass of red wine,” laughs Ward. “To really feed my soul, I want to listen to something that has drama, that has conflict and darkness to it. That’s more intriguing to me.”
- [34]
- APLD "arranges 13 Stephen Sondheim songs into soft, dreamy indie-folk with only a fingerpicked acoustic guitar backing up her ethereal voice"
- "I actually think of songs in the opposite way that Sondheim did," she mentioned, "He found the most important part to be the harmony and instrumentation; melody just had to happen to carry the lyrics. I am literally the opposite. I feel like the melody is the skeleton that holds a song together. I stayed true to 90% of any given melody and then just did my own thing with the harmony and chords."
- [38]
- KATD is "an introspective indie folk exploration of Sondheim’s musical theater canon"
- "her signature style of expressive vocals and haunting guitar arrangements"
Ward has received recognition from several Broadway figures. Donna Murphy praised her “unicorn of a voice,” saying that "there is nothing about Eleri that is struggling for a quality; it just all feels so fluid", while Josh Groban noted the "wonderful line" of her voice and said that she "[finds] ways to smooth the songs out and bring even more heart into the performance”.[3] Sondheim himself reportedly praised her interpretation of his songs before his passing.[19][6]
Outside of her Sondheim covers, Ward has also recorded two EPs of original pop music. This material was noted as having elements of R&B,[39][40][41][13][14] electropop,[40][14] soul,[40][35] dance-pop,[42] folk,[43] and experimental pop,[13] and drew comparisons to Sara Bareilles, Qveen Herby, and Miley Cyrus.[14][40] Her single "Perfect" was said to evoke alternative pop, indie pop, 1990s pop rock, and Kate Bush-esque art pop.[44][45][46] For her part, Ward described this music as a combination of Sara Bareilles, Dua Lipa, and Maggie Rogers.[9][34]

Ward has a partner, Jamie Wayne, that she met in 2017.[47]
