“Hello, I’m Bill Murray, thank you for your attention. Now if you would please direct it to the music of Sons Of The East.”
– Bill Murray

Premiere songwriters and a brilliant live act, Sons Of The East are a remarkable independent success story. Their stellar debut album, Palomar Parade, has already seen over60 million streams, with sold out shows at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire London, Williamsburg Music Hall New York, Troubadour LA, Razzmatazz Barcelona, Metro Theatre Sydney, Boston, Denver & The Hague to name just a handful.

They have amassed an impressive 300 million streams, 60 million YouTube views, 2 million monthly listeners and sold over 50,000 headline tickets throughout their career, a testament to their growing connection with fans all around the world. A steadfastly independent trio, Sons Of The East continue to defy genre and carve out a unique position amongst their indie folk contemporaries.

After returning to more sellout shows across Europe, Sons Of The East embark on their third tour of North America in July & August 2024, playing key festivals such as San Fransisco’s Outside Lands, Montreal Jazz, and Floyd Festival.

“It’s impossible not to move to – and be moved by – this exuberant sound. The atmosphere created is one of unique euphoria.”

– 1st 3rd Magazine


with Ben Goldsmith

Multidimensional artist Ben Goldsmith would like to tell you he “never could’ve imagined” this for himself, but he’s quick to note that – call it confidence or a preternatural headstrongness years in the making – it’d just not be true. “In a way, I’ve been working towards this since I was 3 or 4,” he says. “I’ve never strayed. It’s the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do.’

That “thing” Ben’s referring to is making music – more than music, it’s an art free from genre, with melodies as strong as some of the teen’s many influences. Ben was born and bred on acts like Aerosmith, Dave Matthews Band, Elton John, Queen, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, and Bob Dylan. Ben floats between worlds, genres, and sounds, truly a jack and master of all trades.

Having released his debut album. The World Between My Ears, in 2023 – before he even graduated – Ben now turns the page on his next chapter. “For the first album, it was a more tight-knit circle approach which really worked at the time while I was still in high school,” Ben says. “However, as soon as I closed the door on the last season and opened the door to this new era, I knew from the get-go that I needed to expand and take a drastically different approach.” In Nashville, Ben is working with songwriters the likes of Jon Green, Natalie Hemby, Alex Hope, Laura Veltz, Caitlyn Smith, Brad Tursi, and more. He has also been commuting back and forth to Los Angeles where he has spent consecutive days with Dan Wilson. Peter Fenn, Rick Nowels, Sean Douglas, and Casey Smith, to name a few.

The upcoming album will be released in September of 2024. The first release. “Love Again” will drop on May 3rd.

“My goals are incredibly high for this next wave of music. There are so many different musical avenues to explore with the amazing writers and creatives I’ve been working with lately,” he says.

Named to The Hollywood Reporter’s “Emerging Artists 18 and Under (hollywoodreporter.com) club for music this year and equipped with a natural yet extraordinary gift for singing, songwriting, and performing, Ben is blazing his own Converse-paved trail.
