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, Ricky O’Donnell (bass and backing vocals) and Greg Sheffield (drums and backing vocals), they form the trio version of 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 trio take a leaf from the books of Nathaniel Rateliff, The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and countless other pioneers.
They have been 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, the band have gained recognition as 'ones to watch' on the UK roots scene.
“A heady blend of Soul, Blues and Rock and Eddy Smith has a voice that suits it perfectly.”
“Joe Cocker and Andrew Strong rolled into one”
“The soul in Eddy’s voice is where I want music to be at.”
