Fresh off a successful year of international performances spanning the US West Coast to Latvia, NYC-based orchestral indie-folk group BenBen + Friends is teaming up with London psych-folk artist Omam Dawn for a unique UK mini-tour running March 20–23, 2025.
 

Celebrated for their innovative live experiences, the two acts promise audiences an unforgettable evening of ethereal dreamscapes, orchestral arrangements, and visual storytelling.

BenBen + Friends, led by NYC musician and animator Ben Wigler, features soaring tenor vocals paired with stunning cello and violin arrangements, creating otherworldly, riff-driven folk. The group’s debut album, SINCERE GIFTS, released on buzzy US indie label Perpetual Doom, has fueled two years of touring, including 17 performances across the UK. Described by ThirdEye Psychrock as “an inviting escape into an otherworldly indie landscape” and praised by Psychedelic Baby Magazine as “densely packed with infectious melodies,” the project has cultivated a devoted following both stateside and abroad.

Omam Dawn crafts hauntingly beautiful soundscapes inspired by nature and the human experience. Her debut single, Purple Flowers, earned BBC Introducing airplay and recognition from Morocco Bound Bookshop as one of London’s must-see live acts.
 

The tour will also celebrate the release of a printed preview of Wigler’s graphic novelette, ODD BIRDS, co-created with UK artist Kamila Krol. This project ties into a forthcoming full-length album, adding another layer of artistry to this exciting collaboration.

tour format.png

- For this run of shows, we are open to playing two distinct sets or doing a merged mega set!

All that depends on what the needs of the night are - is it already a packed bill? We can do the merged version. Do we have time to fill? Let's do one after the other!

 

- In either case, Ben will be bringing along string players (2 maximum), and we will likely have some overlap in sounds between the two sets to make for a flowing transition (and keep things simple for any live sound engineers).

- While Brooklyn based, Ben has played 17 shows in the UK and built up a solid reputation. In virtually every new market, the BenBen + Friends project brought out a solid 20-45 people depending on the night of the week and size of the town. That was without an active release to promote. This time around, Ben will be beginning to release his graphic novel + next major recording collection, and we'll have a big press + marketing push, including a killer digital marketing campaign for ticket sales + event turnout. We feel strongly that we can hold our own in terms of helping to bring a crowd, in addition to social support + word of mouth effort from the venue.

-Omam Dawn (Amy), as a London psych-folk fixture and leader of the killer Threadsnake Collective, has a buzz about her and contacts throughout the UK, and will be putting in a major turnout push.

-We are able to help assist in finding regional support, and running our own ticketing...

...however we'd love to leave ticketing + support up to the venue/promoter if at all possible.

Not every live booker wants to see music videos and other fun art related stuff, but we might as well share some so you get a deeper sense of who we are and how we try to make magic.
