Son Of Eagle SW Tour Dates and Free download
A busy start to the year is indeed in-store for this promising fivesome as February also gives way to a very special Southwest England tour with Megan Henwood (BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Act Of The Year). Next month, Son Of Eagle will release their second EP to the masses in anticipation of their second full-length release, to be recorded in the beautiful and historic setting of Zurich, Switzerland in March. Release date is still to be announced.
In December, Never Enough Notes made a video of them playing at London's Troubadour in Earls Court...it's a bit of an interview and a bit of live...have a lookysee: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ux-4G3gSbE

Last year, Son Of Eagle returned to their intimate practice space that is vocalist Benjamin’s spare room to record their first EP ‘Take Me Back’, a creation that encompasses the closeness of the band particularly through being recorded on a single microphone. Indeed, this closeness is reflected in the band’s bond and their charismatic live shows.The future looks bright for Son Of Eagle. In 2011 the band featured on BBC Introducing as well as a number of local BBC stations and received acclaim for numerous festival slots and from the press.
Beautiful harmonies build from bittersweet strings and sparkling guitar accompaniment give way to deep heartfelt lyrics, finely layered through Ben’s perfect vocal. Every song differentiates from the next, demonstrating the beauty of Son Of Eagle’s breadth and exploration of their own sound whilst nestling gently among contemporaries such as Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes.
The band came to be in 2009 when vocalist Benjamin Edmonds toyed around in his bedroom, jamming with friend Dean Collier. Liking what was created, Son Of Eagle was born and viola-player Sarah Lloyd joined to make a three. They began playing beyond the confines of Ben’s bedroom at a plethora of well-received local gigs. Bassist Phil Thompson and drummer Liam Walker were added to the line-up (Liam was plucked onto the stage at a gig and remained in the band ever since) and it is this organic growth that has contributed to the levelled music that Son Of Eagle create.
Not forcing music upon themselves as a quintet with a purpose, Son Of Eagle are a collective in the truest sense. The band are signed to Expat Records and Bucks Music Group, the very same publisher that gave us The Rolling Stones and Simple Minds and continue to create beautiful yet very current folk.
