In 2006, a handful of UK artists launched a monthly night of music at Notting Hill Arts Club in West London that they dubbed Communion, to help promote and cultivate a scene for up and coming independent artists. Those monthly showcases helped to launch the careers for the likes of Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling and Noah & The Whale, while expanding to hosting shows not only across the UK, but internationally as well, along with founding their own record label. Looking to further their presence in U.S., where they already have monthly residencies in Brooklyn and San Francisco, Communion has lined up a packaged tour across the States titled Austin To Boston Tour. Kicking off as billed in Austin at SXSW, the tour will feature Ben Howard, The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff and Bear’s Den.
