Benjamin Francis Leftwich TOUR

• 16th Aug 2012

Benjamin Francis Leftwich has had a busy year and its about to get busier. He has been across the water doing a huge U.S. and Canadian tour including SXSW. Now he's back in Europe for the summer festival season and is gearing up to hit the road for his biggest UK tour to date in October. He'll be playing 29 shows in one month around the country before shooting straight off to Australia for more touring. Catch this while you can.

Following the release of his critically acclaimed debut album 'Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm', we are able to reveal that Ben has managed to find time in his busy touring schedule to head into the studio to record new material that will be released later this year – more details coming soon. Ben recently completed a short UK tour and played his biggest show to date at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with a full band, who he will be bringing with him on his October tour. Speaking of the sold-out show, The Times commented, “Even with the guitars turned up, the poetic sensitivity of the man showed no signs of slacking.” Ben will be returning to London with what promises to be a spellbinding performance at KOKO on October 24th.
