I’m excited to say that I’ll be the featured artist on Hertfordshire’s Mix 92.6fm next Monday 18th September. I’ll be on the 7pm ‘Mix Studios: Live And Local’ show with Steve Simpson.

I’ll be playing acoustic versions of 3 of my songs from the EPs ‘Into The Unknown’ and ‘On Mt Luxmore’ and also talking about my teaching and composing career.

We’ll be covering everything from my music education work with Deaf students to writing songs inspired by hiking and mountains.

The host Steve Simpson is fantastic and so I recommend checking out the rest of his show too (It runs from 7pm-8pm). Listeners can tune in on 92.6FM online at mix926.com and on a smart speaker (Alexa, Play mix ninety two point six.)

I hope you enjoy!

It was great to hear 2 of my tracks featured on last week’s ‘Mix Studios: Live and Local’ show on Mix 92.6fm. The song ‘How We Used To Feel’ opened the show and ‘True Home’ was played towards the end along with some kind words from presenter Steve Simpson.

The other bands/artists on the show were brilliant and so I definitely recommend tuning in regularly to hear whats going on musically across Hertfordshire!

Look out for an acoustic session on Mix 92.6fm from me at some point in the future too!

I’m very excited to say that my new Alt-Folk EP ‘Into The Unknown’ was released on Saturday! You can preview all 6 tracks here:

https://tomhunt.bandcamp.com/album/into-the-unknown-ep

Here is a description of the EP:

“This uplifting and reflective alt-folk EP was created over 3 years and was inspired by themes including hiking, meditation and wild scenery. Songs such as ‘True Home’ describe the deep sense of contentment found walking in the mountains. Others like ‘Trust’ are written about the impermanence of the mental storms we pass through.

This EP blends folk acoustic and bluesy electric guitar tones, warm 80s synth sounds and intricate vocal melodies.

All songs were written and performed by Tom Hunt except for flute on ‘How We Used To Feel’ which was performed by Hannah Hunt.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Tom Hunt.”

I’ve put a lot of work and time into this but it’s ultimately been a real pleasure to put together. I hope you enjoy listening and stay tuned for some radio play of the EP in the coming weeks (more details to follow)!
