The Ben Howard Experience is making its way to the U.S. He's already a Top 10 artist in his native U.K., thanks to his association with Mumford & Son's Ben Lovett. His Communion label is released the singer-songerwriter's debut album, Every Kingdom. Now, that country time, folky feeling is coming to the U.S., presumably to tide of Mumford fans why they wait for new material.
You can download a little Howard teaser with his EP, Old Pine, which is the title of his hit song. It's already been on House, so that's validation in the music industry.
He'll make his live debut at SXSW, then make his way a couple times across America. His NYC at Mercury Lounge is already sold on, so act fast on his second date at Bowery Ballroom with Willy Mason. The From Austin to Boston Communion tour also features The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff and Bear’s Den
