Victoires de la musique and Mercury Prize-winning poet and performer Benjamin Clementine brings his talents to a stage near you. From humble beginnings busking on the streets of London and in Paris' Metro trains, the troubadour captured the praise of critics with his 2013 EP Cornerstone and a phenomenal performance on the UK's prestigious live music show Later with Jools Holland, garnering the endorsement of Paul McCartney. Supporting his latest release, fourth album Sir Introvert
and the Featherweights', don't miss this inspiring talent on the 'Les Chants De L'Aurore' tour this december.
Likened to Leonard Cohen and Nina Simone, Clementine combines a raw performance style with lilting piano chords, his distinctive, gravel-toned voice soaring over emotive tales of heartbreak and self-examination. Cutting an enigmatic figure on stage, his charisma and authenticity is undeniable.
