A surfer and songwriter, Ben Howard's two loves intertwined when the England surfing community became the first audience for his quiet, meditative music.  At the encouragement of friends, Howard released two EPs and was invited soon after to tour with Xavier Rudd.  Like Rudd, Howard is a no-nonsense, no-frills singer-songwriter.  He began to write his own music "as a kid" and decided at the age of 21 to become a full time musician.
