Eddy Smith & The 507 UK

Any­one hear­ing Eddy Smith & The 507 might be for­giv­en for think­ing they hail from the Amer­i­can South. In fact, they come straight out of cen­tral Lon­don. The band mem­bers met at uni­ver­si­ty, where out­side of class they rehearsed in a dusty room marked 507.

Their cap­ti­vat­ing Amer­i­cana is built on a sol­id foun­da­tion of soul, blues, and roots rock. Smith is blessed with a grit­ty, raw-edged voice that grabs you from the first note, per­fect­ly com­ple­ment­ed by the sul­try sound of his Ham­mond and the swing­ing groove of his band. Con­nois­seurs already men­tion them in the same breath as JJ Grey & Mofro and the Mar­cus King Band. That’s no small com­pa­ny, so expec­ta­tions are high.
