Ben Howard to Release New Single in February

Festival Crowd Header
Ben Howard

Ben Howard releases his new single ‘The Wolves’ on the 27th February through Island Records. It is taken from Ben’s top 10 debut album ‘Every Kingdom’.

2011 was a hugely successful introduction to the music of Ben Howard. The young Devonshire singer-songwriter wrote his own story based on twelve months of relentless European and British touring, a string of radio-friendly, folk-informed singles and an acclaimed debut album.

Where his peers have become very British successes, Ben has been building a solid, fanatical fanbase across Europe, appearing on France’s hugely respected Taratata television programme alongside Coldplay, and selling out every show announced (including venue upgrades). In 2012 Ben will launch his music in America with ‘Every Kingdom’ finding a release in the Spring through Communion Records, with appearances at SXSW in Texas and a US tour already confirmed. 

‘The Wolves’ was one of the songs that introduced Ben to the British public in early 2011, and finds a full single release in February 2012. Prior to Ben’s US live dates, he will headline an already sold-out European & UK tour across in February, which includes two nights at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire. Another UK tour is expected later in the year.

Support on all February UK tour dates comes from Daughter.
