BEN HOWARD


Again, I was wandering through the feed of WatchListenTell's YouTube page, and I came across this guy, Ben Howard. [Here is the link  to the WLT version of his song, "Old Pine," so rad, take a listen and share.] His voice is so holistic and immediately finds his way relating to his audience, young and old. I was mesmerized in other videos how we would play his guitar, by both strumming it and beating on it like a drum, creating such a cool sound. It was something I hadn't seen before. 



I also was listening to his song "Keep Your Head Up" and listening to the lyrics made me love this artist even more. When he says "I searched for between the sheets,/Feeling blind, to realise/ All I was searching for was me" i found myself clicking from song to song and listening to nearly all of his work. Sometimes featuring fellow voices, Ben Howard also manages to win over his audience with the steady and soothing sound of the guitar segments and the continuous beat of his calming voice. 
Consider checking his music out, Spotify, iTunes or where ever!
