His 2011 album ‘England Keep My Bones’ reached over 70,000 sales in the UK, spawning a string of hit singles, and he has even designed his own signature brew beer ‘Believe’ which will be stocked in pubs around the November tour dates. He’s just won the ASCAP Vanguard Award and has been nominated for Best Live Act and Hardest Working Act at the forthcoming AIM Awards. It’s amazing that with all of that going on he’s still found time to write and record a brand new studio album, set for a release in Spring 2013.
