Next week, one of our favorite artists, M. Ward, will release what we're certain will be one of the year's best albums. (If you haven't heard Hold Time yet, you can still hear a preview of the entire record as part of our First Listen series). To mark the release, Ward will perform a handful of selections from the new record live, at the studios of WNYC in New York. It'll be a short solo acoustic set, and we'll webcast the entire show here on NPR Music.

Following the performance, Ward will take questions from listeners in a live chat with WNYC's Alana Harper and All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen. It'll all start at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday, Feb. 17.
