Wynward is spreading yuletide cheer and aiding a very worthy cause this holiday season! The Brick Alternative Rock act will host their annual holiday show at Icarus Brewing in Lakewood on Friday December 17.  Wynward will be joined on the bill by Burnt Tavern, Curbie and The Sidewalkers, and Veronica Vaughn.  Festivities include an ugly sweater contest and live set paintings by Dogmatic.  The first 40 people in the door will receive a special Christmas ornament, hand-painted by the bands!

Admission to Yule-a-Palooza is free, however donations will be accepted at the door for Ocean of Love.  The non-profit provides financial and emotional support to families with children battling cancer in Ocean County.  Learn more at oceanoflove.org.

Wynward is currently working on a brand new album.  Keep an eye out for “The Convenience Of Pretending.” Their latest release “Live From a Screen in Quarantine” and their debut album “Tides” are available on all streaming platforms.  Check out all of your options on Wynward's linktree page!

Wynward rocked The Rat’s Ocean of Love Billboard Radiothon back in September.  Their performance helped us raise $151,780.00 for Ocean of Love.  Check out a video of them performing “Give Up” at the radiothon!
