Benjamin Booker Announces Debut Single, UK Dates

New Orleans songwriter Benjamin Booker has been picked up by Jack White and Courtney Barnett for support roles on two separate tours, which might give some indication as to where this newcomer’s headed.

Live, he recreates blues jams in two-piece form alongside Max Norton. His debut album - out this summer - is produced by Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray For The Riff Raff), with the 22-year-old having just been signed to Rough Trade Records.

Debut single ‘Violent Shiver’ is out 12th May, streamable below and on Spotify.
