Jon Boden has become the ‘stand out performer of his generation’ (The Guardian) of traditional folk artists, but one whose repertoire extends far beyond the boundaries of the genre.

He is best known as the lead singer and main arranger of the progressive folk juggernaut Bellowhead who achieved a quarter of a million album sales, seven singles on the Radio 2 playlist, and sold out hundreds of venues, notably the Royal Albert Hall.

Meanwhile in 2009, Jon founded his band, The Remnant Kings. Originally formed to perform the album ’Songs from the Floodplain’, the first in his post-apocalyptic trilogy of albums, the band have reunited and relaunched to record subsequent albums. These include: ‘Afterglow’ in 2017, ‘Rose In June’ (2019), performances of Jon’s final album in the trilogy, ‘Last Mile Home’ (2021), and their latest album ‘Parlour Ballads’ (Hudson Records) – released Sept ’24.

The Remnant Kings feature the enormous talents of Sam Sweeney (Bellowhead), Rob Harbron (Leveret), Ben Nicholls (Seth Lakeman Band), Sally Hawkins (Bellowhead) and the vocals and pedal-steel guitar of cult singer-songwriter M.G. Boulter.
