After more than 15 years of worldwide touring and three album releases, Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson–otherwise known as the folk duo Hungrytown–have earned a reputation for the quality and authenticity of their songwriting.
Their introduction to folk music came later 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).
Inspired by the grit and true-to-life experiences she heard in these traditional ballads, Hall was inspired to write the lyrics that later became her first songs, aided by Anderson’s flair for musical arrangement.
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 “The Daily Show” and “Portlandia.”
