Eddy Smith
 16th May 2026
Captivating audiences with his unique, husky voice and tasteful piano accompaniment, Eddy Smith has been making his mark on the UK’s growing Americana scene.
Widely recognised as one of the major male vocalists on the Country Soul and Blues circuit, his infectious melodies and soulful song-writing has drawn comparisons to the likes of Joe Cocker, JJ Grey and Marcus King to name a few.
Backed by his long-time friends, they form the multinational five-piece, Eddy Smith & The 507.
Their music, engulfed by rich vocal harmonies and gospel-like organ is reminiscent of a sound from way before their time.
With an irresistible blend of various Americana styles, such as Blues, Soul, Country and Rock, the quintet take a leaf from the books of Nathaniel Rateliff, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and countless other pioneers of their Genres.Â

Deemed festival favourites since appearing on some of the UK’s most prestigious stages, including The Isle of Wight Festival, Black Deer, The Long Road, Americana UK Festival, Cambridge Folk, The British Country Music Festival and more, along with prestigious support slots such as opening for George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Birmingham Symphony Hall, the band have gained recognition as ‘ones to watch’ on the UK Roots scene.
Having sold out their debut album launch, along with a packed-out headline show at London’s iconic The Jazz Cafe, international live performances including The USA and Europe, radio play and TV features, the band are well and truly on their way towards a bright future.
Arts for Hungerford
Step into an unforgettable evening at their historic Croft Hall, where lofty ceilings and timeworn wooden beams whisper stories of the past.
Beneath the warm glow candles, intimate jazz café tables invite you to settle in and soak up the atmosphere, from when the bar opens to the end of the show.
The bar is fully stocked, offering a curated selection of drinks to suit every taste.
Whether it’s a soul-stirring musical, a night of side-splitting comedy, or a captivating piece of theatre, or a beautifully film on cinema night, this is a space where live performance comes to life—up close and electric.
Come for the show.
Stay for the magic.
