Live Music

Ben Jones & Xavier Lynn Double Headline Show

Ben Jones returns to the Fox & Firkin to host another night of incredible live music and sharing the stage with top American guitarist, Xavier Lynn. Xavier Lynn is a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter whose work draws from southern soul, funk, and R&B. Influenced by artists such as Prince, Bobby Womack, D’Angelo, Otis Rush, and Funkadelic, he combines traditional and modern elements in his music. He has performed and recorded with artists including John P. Kee, Donnie McClurkin, Joe, and MonoNeon. These collaborations have contributed to his musical range and professional experience. His original songs, such as Make It Through and Sorry It Ends This Way, highlight his ability to bring guitar and vocals together in a soulful, unified expression. Known for his energetic live performances, Xavier Lynn continues to develop his style through ongoing work in both studio and stage settings. Ben is a gifted multi-instrumentalist/producer whose reputation is firmly established in the London music scene. Over the years, Ben has worked with artists including Sam Smith, Jacob Collier, Mary J Blige, Sir Tom Jones and Jazmine Sullivan but has always made time for developing his own material. Projects such as DivaGeek brought the attention of musical royalty, Lalah Hathaway, leading him to produce music on one of her Grammy winning records.
