London-based Eddy Smith and his band The 507 deliver a warm, versatile mix of Americana, soul, blues, and rock. His husky, expressive voice and refined piano playing give every song a distinct emotional charge, quickly drawing the audience into his world. Comparisons to voices like Joe Cocker, JJ Grey, and Marcus King are never far away.

Together with his five-piece band, he builds a rich sound, with vocal harmonies and gospel-like organ parts that provide both power and depth. Their music breathes the tradition of names like Nathaniel Rateliff, The Rolling Stones, and The Eagles, without ever dwelling on nostalgia.

Eddy Smith & The 507 have since become an established live act at festivals such as The Isle of Wight Festival, Black Deer, The Long Road, Americana UK Festival, and Cambridge Folk. They also made a name for themselves as support for George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Birmingham Symphony Hall. Their sold-out debut and show at The Jazz Cafe in London confirmed their growth.

In 2026, their move to the European mainland takes center stage — and our festival is one of the first places where that can be experienced live.
