Jon Boden is a key member of the modern folk scene. He made a name for himself as one half of the duo Spiers & Boden, but it was with the 11-piece group Bellowhead that they really shook things up. A prolific musician, he has released a series of albums with John Spiers, Bellowhead, Eliza Carthy (as one of her Ratcatchers), guested on numerous other artists' releases and has even found time to release two solo albums.

With influences from artists such as Show Of Hands, Jackie Oates, The Imagined Village, Waterson:Carthy and Eliza Carthy among others, Jon Boden's music is a unique blend of traditional folk sounds and contemporary arrangements.

His collaborations with renowned musicians like Jim Moray, Kris Drever, Martin Simpson and Megson have further showcased his versatility and talent. With an extensive discography featuring artists like Bella Hardy, Ruth Notman and Karine Polwart among others, Jon Boden continues to make his mark in the folk music industry.

Jon Boden, former frontman of progressive folk eleven-piece Bellowhead releases his new solo album Afterglow via Hudson Records. Afterglow is Boden's first studio release since calling an end to Bellowhead, a 12-year project that culminated in a quarter of a million album sales and worldwide sell-out shows including the Royal Albert Hall. Afterglow follows on from Boden's 2009 solo concept-album Songs From The Floodplain which lead him to be named as Folk Singer Of The Year at the BBC Folk Awards. Whereas Floodplain largely dealt with the rural setting, Afterglow looks to juxtapose this and immerse the listener within a post-apocalyptic street carnival - a location of decaying buildings, burning oil drums and homemade fireworks, in which Boden tells the story of two lovers trying to find one another. Speaking about the album concept, Boden says: "Like my previous album Songs From The Floodplain, Afterglow imagines a near-future world where the luxuries and comfort of 21st century life have become scarce, and a harder, simpler existence now prevails. Afterglow is the story of a couple who are trying to find each other in the middle of a bonfire-night street carnival in a crumbling, derelict city. I had a wonderful time recording it in Sheffield with the help of my band the Remnant Kings and Andy Bell in the producer's chair."

2CD - The Deluxe Edition includes the CD album of Afterglow plus a bonus disc of the full album in acoustic form. Housed in a Digipak with a full-colour 16 page lyric booklet.
