Ben Howard is a singer/songwriter from England. He is characterised by his odd way of guitar playing. He recently did a tour with Australian artist Xavier Rudd. From Ben's MySpace "I was brought up in Totnes, South Devon.. neatly nestled between the moors and the sea. I travel lots, surf when I can, probably drink too much, definitely think too much, and at 22 still make irrational choices. I like the outdoors and the Autumn. I’m happiest at home with friends, and my favourite fruit would have to be a pear.
