Description

Join us on February 6th at 6:00 P.M. for a free music event, as we welcome back the folk duo Hungrytown! After more than fifteen years 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. 

Hall and Anderson met in New York City, where they had already been performing regularly- Hall as a jazz singer, and Anderson as a drummer. Hungrytown's introduction to folk music came when a close friend- who died young due to a tragic misdiagnosis- entrusted to them her collection of 1960s folk albums and her guitar (which has since been featured on all of their albums). Hall was inspired to write the lyrics that later became her first songs, aided by Anderson’s flair for musical arrangement. In the winter of 2003, the duo quit their desk jobs, moved to the green hills of Vermont, and decided to pursue a full-time career as touring musicians. They released their first CD, Hungrytown, in 2008; Any Forgotten Thing in 2011; and Further West in 2015. 

The couple continues to spend more than half of each year on the road, especially roads in North America, Europe, and New Zealand. Hungrytown's music has received extensive radio airplay worldwide and has appeared on several television shows, including Comedy Central's The Daily Show, IFC's Portlandia and Netflix's Lady Dynamite. The duo will perform at 6:00 on February 6th in the Stribling Room of the Mason County M. Beven Eckert Memorial Library. Adapted from hungrytown.com/about
