Eddy Smith & The 507

Eddy Smith & The 507

A Bromley Blues Club production

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 have 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 take a leaf from the books of Nathaniel Rateliff, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and countless other pioneers of their genres.

Appearances 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, and The British Country Music Festival, have confirmed the band as festival favourites. And with support slots such as opening for George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Birmingham Symphony Hall, they have gained recognition as ‘ones to watch’ on the UK Roots scene.
