Arts for Hungerford books two May gigs in Hungerford
Arts for Hungerford has booked two May gigs in hungerford at The Croft Hall, with Eddy Smith & The 507 set for Saturday, May 16 and Demi Marriner returning on Saturday, May 30. Tickets for both shows are available from ArtsforHungerford.com.
The pairing gives local audiences access to acts moving through Americana, blues, soul, country and rock, while keeping both bookings in a smaller venue with a bar and tables for people to sit with friends. Marriner’s date carries extra pull after her last Hungerford appearance sold out.
The Croft Hall dates
Eddy Smith & The 507 will open the run at The Croft Hall on Saturday, May 16. The band is a multinational five-piece led by singer and frontman Eddy Smith, and its sound is described as a blend of Blues, Country and Rock.
For Smith, the booking brings a group that has drawn notice beyond the local circuit. Huey Morgan said, “The soul in Eddy’s voice is where I want music to be at.” Hard Rock Café said, “They blew our socks off” after the band played the Isle of Wight Festival.
Demi Marriner in Hungerford
Marriner returns to Hungerford on Saturday, May 30 after previously selling out in the town. She has been making waves in the country, Americana and blues circuits, and she also performs with Elles Bailey’s band.
Her current tour is built around new material, including the single Deviate, with a new album due for release in September. Building Our Own Nashville described her work as having “Incredibly rich, soulful melodies – raw, melodic vocals – lyrics to captivate you.”
