Everyone knows the rule is that<br />

you are supposed to be quiet in<br />

libraries. But the Hull and Hawarden<br />

Public Libraries are suspending<br />

that rule <strong>for</strong> a night.<br />

They are going to be hosting free concerts<br />

<strong>for</strong> all who would like to attend.<br />

The folk duo Hungrytown will be<br />

per<strong>for</strong>ming at both venues. They will<br />

first be per<strong>for</strong>ming in Hull on Monday,<br />

Aug. 1 at 6:30 p.m. and Hawarden on<br />

Wednesday, Aug. 3, at 7 p.m.<br />

Matt Hoehamer, the director of the<br />

Hull Public Library, noted that this<br />

isn’t the first time that they’ve suspended<br />

the quiet in the library rule.<br />

“Hungrytown is a folk music duo<br />

and we’ve done a couple of music<br />

programs in the past year. We’ve had<br />

some really good turnouts <strong>for</strong> those,”<br />

Hoehamer said. “Since we had such a<br />

good response to those types of programs,<br />

we were looking to host some<br />

more music per<strong>for</strong>mances.”<br />

He received an email from the band<br />

announcing that they would be in the<br />

area.<br />

“I listened to some samples of their<br />

songs and I, myself, enjoy folk music<br />

and based on the response from the<br />

people who have come to the per<strong>for</strong>mances,<br />

I thought that Hungrytown<br />

would be a band that people would<br />

enjoy,” Hoehamer said.<br />

Hungrytown is composed of Rebecca<br />

Hall and Ken Anderson. They<br />

were introduced to folk music when<br />

a friend died and left Hall her collection<br />

of folk albums and a guitar. Hall<br />

went on to write lyrics and songs <strong>for</strong><br />

two solo albums, “Sings!” and “Sunday<br />

Afternoon.” Both of those initial<br />

albums were produced by Anderson.<br />

In 2003, the two decided to quit<br />

their jobs and move to Vermont to<br />

pursue music as a full-time job.<br />

They’ve been touring ever since. They<br />

have released three albums together<br />

including; “Hungrytown,” “Any Forgotten<br />

Thing,” and “Further West.”<br />

They tour more than half of the<br />

year and have spent time in North<br />

America, Europe and New Zealand.<br />

If you are hungry <strong>for</strong> some fun music,<br />

then make sure to head to Hull or<br />

Hawarden to hear Hungrytown. F<br />
