‘Candlelight Blues’ with international performer Eddy Smith
‘Candlelight Blues’ will feature international blues singer Eddy Smith at Leighton Buzzard’s independent events venue ‘The Crooked Crow Bar’ on Thursday 14th May
Eddy has been a full time musician for around 11 years and captivates audiences wherever he plays with his unique, husky voice and tasteful piano accompaniment. He has made his mark on the UK’s growing Blues and Americana scene and is 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.
‘Candlelight Sessions’ organiser Tim Casterton says ‘We’re delighted to have Eddy back in Leighton Buzzard at The Crooked Crow Bar – he went down a storm when he played for us in March last year. His vocal range is impressive and amazingly powerful. Backed by either his electric piano or guitar, his songs take you through the emotions!’
Eddy has just been performing in Europe at the Roots & Roses Festival 2026 in Belgium and Moulin Blues 2026 (Blues & roots festival) and his sold out Cultureel Cafe De Amer in the Netherlands. Previously he has appeared 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. He has opening supporting George Thorogood & The Destroyers at Birmingham Symphony Hall, and with his band has gained recognition as 'ones to watch' on the UK Roots scene. His headline performance show at London's iconic The Jazz Café was packed-out and his debut album sold out!
