Jon Boden

Jon Boden is best known is the lead singer of the progressive folk juggernaut Bellowhead. After twelve years, 250,000 album sales, seven singles playlisted on Radio 2 and hundreds of sold out venues, Bellowhead split in May 2016.

Over the course of his career, Jon Boden has become one of the outstanding performers of traditional music of his generation. In one capacity or another, he has won eleven BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.

Though widely respected for his role as a highly accomplished interpreter of traditional song, Jon Boden has a musical repertoire which extends far beyond the boundaries of just one genre. Now that the exuberant big band Bellowhead which Jon fronted has now come to a close, Jon has decided to explore a more simple, pared down sound.

Autumn 2016 sees Jon tour for first time performing entirely solo, presenting the self-penned songs of 'Painted Lady' – with a special 10th anniversary reissue of this album ahead of the tour – material from Bellowhead, Spiers & Boden, Songs From The Floodplain, and his A Folk Song A Day project in which he recorded 365 folk songs in one year.
