I am producing a music video and the song i have chosen is The Wolves by folk artist Ben Howard. Ben Howard's is an acoustic solo artist and has brought a fresh approach to the music scene. As a child he was heavily influenced by his parents records the likes of Bob Dylan. Island records jumped at the chance to sign the talented up and coming artist after his impressive live performances. In October 2011 he released his first album Every Kingdom which included the ever so popular song The Wolves.
"Ben Howard is a young acoustic troubadour who will make you feel as though he is the first young acoustic troubadour you have ever heard. He brings freshness to the form, gives it lustre, making it all seem brand new even as his songs have about them a quality of wisdom and a rootsy authenticity as old as the hills."
"He is something of an acoustic guitar whiz, having mastered the art of strumming, plucking and hammering the instrument for rhythmic purposes. And he’s only 23 but already – minus any of the usual army of public relations people and pluggers behind him – can sell out a 400-capacity venue, including some of the capital’s coolest venues, at the drop of a plectrum, having amassed a secret society of fans via the UK’s fiercely loyal surfing community that has already spread over the water to Germany, France and Holland."
