1.) Ben Howard

I found Ben Howard about four years ago when I was randomly shuffling through stations on my iHeart Radio app and ever since then Ben has one of my favorites. He has a distinct and complicated sound that makes his music so refreshing. Ben Howard is an amazing guitarist who takes a unique approach to playing his instrument (which makes it fun and challenging to play them on guitar for yourself, too). His albums "Every Kingdom" and "I Forget Where We Were" provide a new take on the potential music can hold.

I first saw this band of three sisters when they opened for James Bay on his most recent tour. They are incredible live performers and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

Songs to listen to:

1.) S.O.S.

3.) Honest

3.) Gavin James

Gavin James is similar to an Ed-Sheeran-type of singer and songwriter. I really love his simple, understated, and uncluttered sound, because it allows you to just sit back and enjoy the beauty of his music. "Gavin James Live at the Whalens" is my go-to album for quiet and chill moments.
