Ben Howard

左撇子吉他手Ben Howard出生于英国伦敦，11岁开始创作，21岁时自费发行了一张EP。一向行事低调的他，甫发处女作专辑便得到大众一致认可，而后获得多个独立音乐大奖的嘉许。
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, often think too much, and at 23 still make irrational choices. I like the outdoors and the Autumn. I’m happiest at home with friends, and my favourite fruit would have to be a pear.
Musically I started playing and writing as a kid and it’s the one thing that’s never changed. Mum and Dad were big listeners 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. Our tape collection is pretty good.
More recently, i've been extremely fortunate to support some artists I really admire.. The likes of Xavier Rudd, Fink, Brett Dennen and Angus and Julia Stone have all had a big impact along the way. I've played shows in some crazy places both on my own and with the band and i'm starting to realise i couldn't really do anything else. At the moment we're laying the finishing touches to the debut album in a little barn studio we've got going on near home so all is gold and good.
I guess I’ll leave it at that really. Keep it short. Really hope you all enjoy the tunes on here.
Much love from Devon,
Ben.
