March Club Night – Hungrytown (US)

Hungry Town Banner

All the way from the US of A come Hungrytown, an acoustic duo who play songs of deep Appalachia, and originals in that old-timey style.

After more than a decade of world-wide touring and three album releases, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson, have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting: “It’s great to hear an act eschew sentimentality in favor of honesty and to prove that you don’t have to go raiding the memory of others to find the stuff that really good songs are made of,” writes Jedd Beaudoin of Popmatters.

Lyricist Rebecca Hall is credited with compositions “that sound as timeless as any traditional songs” (Northern Sky, UK) while producer/multi-instrumentalist/husband Ken Anderson is lauded for his “remarkable affinity for instrumental embellishment” (No Depression) and for crafting Hungrytown’s “gorgeous vocal harmonies” (Folk and Roots, UK).

Rebecca & Ken play a delicious blend of acoustic based folk music with harmonies to die for. Often delicate, often reflective their music comes from the heart and the soul. Their latest album Further West is an album of journeys, journeys of the heart as well as the miles.

Hungrytown will be playing at Whangateau Hall as special guests at our March 27th club night. $15 on the door. Show starts at 7pm.
