After last week’'s triumphant show at London’s Kings College, Oxford’s twenty-year-old musician Lewis Watson has announced he will embark upon a new headline tour in which he performs at cities and towns which weren’t covered by his recent successful tour.
Prior to his new headline trek, Lewis will support Benjamin Francis Leftwich on his upcoming tour. The duo are integral figures in a growing movement of talented young singer-songwriters such as Ben Howard and Jake Bugg.
This summer will also see Lewis Watson perform at festivals including Bestival, Live at Leeds, Great Escape and Camp Bestival.
A new video for Lewis Watson’s song ‘'It Could Be Better' has also been launched. The clip follows Scottish illustrator Lucy MacLeod as she crafts a stunning portrait of him.' ‘It Could Be Better’' features on Lewis Watson’s third EP '‘The Wild'’.
Lewis Watson first came to prominence when his debut EP ‘'It’s Got Four Sad Songs On It BTW'’ topped the iTunes singer-songwriter chart on the first day of release, outselling the likes of Adele, Madonna and Ed Sheeran. His second EP '‘Another Four Sad Songs'’ continued his rise to prominence.
