Introduction

Every Kingdom is the title of Ben Howard’s debut album. And you should check out every minute and every second of it… Before launching his career as an acoustic singer/songwriter, Ben Howard grew up in South Devon, England, where his mother’s collection of folk records helped instill a love for Joni Mitchell, Donovan, and Richie Havens. Howard dropped out of school six months shy of graduation as a journalist, convinced by the surf community’s enthusiastic response to his music — which, despite its acoustic folk sound and beachy vibe, sounded more like John Martyn than Jack Johnson — that he should ditch the newsroom and focus on songwriting. In the meantime, he has definitely graduated to headliner status.
