Eddy Smith & the 507 (UK)

A gem to discover at our Roots and Roses festival

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. 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.

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 even more, as opening act for prestigious artists like George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Birmingham Symphony Hall. The band have gained recognition as ‘ones to watch’ on the UK Roots scene.

With the release of their debut album the band are well and truly on their way towards a bright future. So not to miss at the Roots&Roses festival on May 1st.
