Steve Smith in town for a House Concert

[brath]

Plans are afoot to host Steve Smith (http://www.desertnight.com/) in a House Concert.  Plans are not final, but the date is.  We're thinking about starting around 3 or 4 p.m.   Steve will play two sets, 45-60 minutes each.  We're thinking about a $15 cover charge and BYOB.  We'll finalize everything by mid-March.  I'm trying to get a non-binding head count, so email me if you are interested.

Steve Smith has been performing for nearly thirty years on mandolin, mandola, guitar and vocals in about as many types of musical situations as one can imagine. He has appeared as a solo artist, bandleader, an in-demand sideman and session player and producer in traditional bluegrass (his first love), old-time, Celtic, new acoustic jazz and chamber music. His deep Virginia roots and thirty years of traveling the country as a soloist, bandleader and sideman give him a hard driving unique instrumental sound coupled with a powerful tenor and delicate overtones.

Most recently Steve appeared on the latest release by guitarist extraordinaire Jim Hurst, “A Box of Chocolates” and produced the CD “Bungalow” by singer songwriter Bob Einweck, and the long awaited CD from Hard Road “Only So Fast” and the September 2008 release of the Alan Munde Gazette CD “Made to Last”
 
Smith has been involved in a number of theatrical productions including composing the score for the Sam Sheppard play “Curse of the Starving Class”. He honed his skills with a stint in music school studying 20th century composition and theory; most recently his music was used in the PBS film “The Bataan Death March, a New Mexico Story” and “Portraits of the Southwest”.

In addition to a regular solo touring schedule which has taken him from Florida to Alaska, the Caribbean to Europe, Smith tours with his group Steve Smith and Hard Road, The Alan Munde Gazette, Jim Hurst and Bill Evans and maintains a busy teaching and workshop schedule including ten years as mandolin instructor at Camp Bluegrass (www.campbluegrass.com), the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, Zoukfest in Santa Fe NM and the California Coast Music Camp along with a broad palette of recordings on mandolin, mandola, mandocello and guitar.
