Xavier Rudd protégé finally has own CD and tour in AB

He has already been Xavier Rudd's unsurpassed support act a few times and we got to know him as 'the semi-fragile but genuinely quite unique Ben Howard – a rather pale British surfer but, above all, his melancholy voice and interesting guitar style are very exciting!' It was also apparent how he won souls each time, definitely with his live-act: there's not a single mild melomaniac who could resist this.

So now Ben Howard has finally finished his debut CD - 'Every Kingdom' (via Pias.) - and he'll be heading over to the old continent immediately after an extensive British tour at the end of the year. (He didn't manage to make it here in February 2010 due to a train accident just below Brussels, we just mention it for the seriously disappointed fans at the time.)

Anyway, this too in his own open-hearted words: 'I was brought up in Totnes, South Devon.. neatly nestled between the moors and the sea. I travel lots, surf when I can, probably drink too much, definitely think too much, and at 22 still make irrational choices. I like the outdoors and the Autumn. I'm happiest on the road or at home with friends.
Musically I started playing and writing as a kid and it's maybe the one thing that's never changed. Mum was a big listener to all the greats- the likes of John Martyn, Joni Mitchell, The Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, Donovan etc so that's played a big part in my life (Dad was more of a Yes and Pink Floyd man). Our tape collection is pretty good:)
Much love from Devon,
Ben.'
