Eddy Smith & the 507
£17/£14(c) • Friends £15/£12(c)
Join us for a massive night with a BIG sound, courtesy of Eddy Smith with his unique, husky voice and awesome piano accompaniment – in recent years he’s really been really making his mark on the UK’s growing Americana scene. Widely recognised as one of the prominent male vocalists on the country soul & blues circuit, Eddy’s infectious melodies and soulful song-writing has drawn comparisons to the likes of Joe Cocker, JJ Grey and Marcus King.
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 are sure to take Prema by storm for this awesome autumn gig.
