Join us for a soulful and foot-tapping evening as Jim Crawford & Sophie Smiles serve up a rich musical gumbo of blues, Louisiana funk, and jazz — a flavourful blend that’s as warm and inviting as the artists themselves.
Sophie Smiles, a gifted pianist and bassist from Westward Ho!, channels the spirit of New Orleans with every note. Deeply inspired by the legendary Dr. John, her style weaves honky-tonk grooves with Southern blues and funk, delivered with infectious joy and a stage presence that lights up the room.
Jim Crawford, a beloved figure in the local music scene, brings decades of experience and soulful depth to the stage. Originally from Lancashire and now rooted in Appledore, Jim has toured across Europe and the US, captivating audiences with his warm, intimate blend of folk and blues. Offstage, he’s a quiet soul with a love for fishing and the company of his loyal dog — but onstage, his masterful guitar work speaks volumes.
Expect heartfelt music, rich rhythms, and a night that stirs the soul.
