Foggy Notions Presents Ben de la Cour
Raised in Brooklyn, de la Cour lived in London, Cuba, and across the United States before making his home in the American South over a decade and a half ago. Drawing on inspiration from writers and musicians alike—Townes Van Zandt, Jimi Hendrix, Nick Cave, Nina Simone, Leonard Cohen, James Baldwin, and Carson McCullers among them—de la Cour’s gothic folk songs are as heartbreaking as they are beautiful.
De la Cour’s solo tour of Ireland and the UK in 2024 was met with high praise and included sold-out performances in Kilkenny and London. He will be returning to Ireland and the UK in January and February 2026 as direct support for Lucinda Williams, who personally invited Ben to join the tour. This will be followed in spring by a headlining tour of the UK in April 2026, which is certain to be Ben de la Cour’s grandest UK headline tour yet.
