In support of his debut album Every Kingdom,
breakout British musician Ben Howard will embark on a nationwide
tour this fall. See below for complete details. Every Kingdom, out
now on the taste-making independent label Communion Records,
debuted Top 10 on the U.K. charts and is now certified Gold. Additionally, the
music continues to garner widespread praise—The New York Times explains,
“Howard’s songs…cascade from his fingers, gathering words and melodies as they
go, carrying his reedy, tremulous voice as their crescendos surge,” and NYLON
Guys calls the album “a mélange of intricate acoustic guitar work and
sweet, hum-along choruses.” Furthermore, NY Daily News lauds
the record as “fired by flinty textures of guitar,” while Philadelphia
Inquirerdescribes it as “touched by tender lyricism.” Howard made his U.S.
network television debut performing "Only Love" on “The Late Show
with David Letterman."
The young acoustic singer-songwriter, whose celebrated live performances have resulted in back to back sell-out tours to a rapidly growing fanbase, recently completed a U.S. run, including special performances at SXSW, Sasquatch! Music Festival, Bonnaroo, and sold-out shows in New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. Howard is now set to perform at Austin City Limits.
Every Kingdom was recorded in a converted barn nestled between the countryside and the sea. It turned out darker in its lyrical content than Howard imagined it would and is filled with natural imagery of the Devonshire landscape where he grew up and presently resides. The album has received high praise from the British press and influential stations such as BBC Radio1. In the U.S., Howard’s current single “Only Love” is climbing the Triple A Radio chart.
