Introducing the Sons of Town Hall, the theatrical-folk duo of Ben Parker — celebrated British singer / songwriter / producer and David Berkeley — beloved American singer / songwriter / author. Whilst crossing the Atlantic on a raft of their own making, Sons of Town Hall crafted songs of wonder and woe, heartbreak, and hope. Their harmonies are sublime. Their stories are hilarious. Dressed in threadbare Victorian outfits and armed with old, weather-beaten Gibson guitars, their show is part concert, part performance art, and unlike anything you have ever seen.

In 2024, Sons of Town Hall will release their sophomore album and an accompanying podcast series. Hosted by British actor Oliver Maltman, the podcast, entitled “The Adventures of the Sons of Town Hall,” is produced in the style of old radio theater — complete with beautifully scored music and lush soundscapes. Each of the fifteen globe-spanning episodes tells one of the duo’s many adventures drawn from their mythic lives together and features a brand-new song from the forthcoming album.
