Hungrytown performs at the Levin Folk Music Club.
Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson are the duo who are Hungrytown. They last played for us in early 2013.
Rebecca and Ken tour full time; their adventures have taken them throughout the US, Canada, Europe and New Zealand. Listen to some samples.
Their songs have been performed by many other artists, including Nashville songwriting legend David Olney and bluegrass veterans the Virginia Ramblers. Hungrytown’s music has also appeared on several television shows, including the Independent Film Channel’s hit series, “Portlandia”. Do come along for this wonderful duo and a great evening.

Although early in the year, the LFMCI committee has swung into action and is discussing and planning the year ahead. Dale will continue as Acting Chair until the AGM and the committee is pleased to have the assistance of Colin and Rona for the remainder of this term. We appreciate that some members have taken on key tasks which help with the smooth running of the Club. The committee would encourage and welcome any other offers, especially with club nights, where an extra pair of hands would be most appreciated.
