Singer-songwriter M. Ward returns to San Luis Obispo early next month.

The indie folk rocker will perform March 1 at the Fremont Theatre to promote his upcoming solo album, “More Rain.” His all-ages show is being presented by Good Medicine Presents and Numbskull Productions.

In addition to his solo work, Ward has earned acclaim for his collaborations with “New Girl” star Zooey Deschanel as She & Him and with Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes as Monsters of Folk.

Although based in Portland, Ore., for more than a decade, Ward has close ties to the Central Coast. The Cal Poly graduate hung out at student-run radio station KCPR, worked at Boo Boo Records in San Luis Obispo and played in local bands including folk-rock trio Rodriguez.

Tickets for M. Ward’s March 1 concert cost $25 to $35.
