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 />
