BALTIMORE - Marylandian -- Clarence Ward III will release an EP this week with four tracks of new music. The EP is the second release since his self-titled debut project, Clarence Ward III & Dat Feel Good Live at Blue House, which was released in 2021.

Ward describes the new project as, "a summer cool-out jazz EP". He has written, produced, and performed the entire project in the midst of a year full of working in clubs and festivals in both Baltimore and DC as well as hosting his weekly jam session at R. House every Monday in the Remington neighborhood. The EP titled, Hot Summer, will have four new tracks. Ward gave the crowd at his jam session combined with his birthday celebration a treat when he played one of his new songs for them. He has not released the track titles but fans and critics alike are waiting on the edge of their seats for his new music.
