Swedish Alt-Country star Benjamin Folke Thomas
Swedish Alt-Country star, Benjamin Folke Thomas is coming to Kingskerswell Parish Church on the 25th.
It will be part of his 11 date UK tour to mark the launch of his latest album 'Rogue State Of Mind'. Copies of the album will be avaliable at the concert but won't be in record shops until May.
Accompanied by his band, Ben is an electrifying perfomer with an incredibly characterful voice which is finished off nicely with his finger-style guitar.
He may be native to Sweden but he is no stranger to the UK shores as he lived in London for many years playing to massive crowds including festivals like Glastonbury.
Last year, Ben travelled to Nashville in the US with legendary radio presenter Bob Harris as part of a BBC Introducing initiative. "Ben can really hold an audience,” Bob says, “so catch his show if you can and enjoy his instrumental virtuosity, sophisticated songwriting, and passionate vocals.”
Whilst on tour, he will be recording a session for BBC Radio 2.
Supports come from local man Paul Armfield and Maria Byrne.
