DAVID G SMITH

The Songwriter Sessions Series has been up and running since 2019. It's a unique listening room experience patterned after the shows held at the Bluebird Cafe/Nashville where I also perform and host shows. For this show, we're actually featuring two performers that have played the Bluebird with me before. All 3 of us will be on stage at the same time trading songs and stories and just generally goofing off. 2 hours of sit-back-and-relax fun! The GL is under new ownership! Come on down and say hi to Jason and Rhiannon. They are real nice folks! Reservations or walk-ins available.

This private event is part of the Hey Dave Music "Give-Back Series" that provides live music performance for a variety of causes. These performances may take the form of fundraisers for those in need, for folks with medical conditions (like Alzheimers, Parkinson's Disease, Cancer), for children's causes (like St. Jude or Boys & Girls Town), for food banks or women's shelters, or simply for people who may not be able to otherwise access the arts like skilled nursing, memory units or other senior community settings. These shows are community oriented performances and can be booked for anywhere in the US....or even virtually. Feel free to visit and check out the "Give-Back" website page at https://www.davidgsmithmusic.com/give-back for a work-in-progress history of this effort. If you would like to book an event of this nature please contact David at davidgsmithmusic@yahoo.com or 615-483-1781.

I personally will not be performing at Alternating Currents this year but one of my songs will. The title track to my new album, Hero Street, is part of the soundtrack of Tammy and Kelly Rundle's latest PBS docuseries installment of their 9-part series by the same name. There will be a screening of this latest episode called: The LAST TO FALL FROM HERO STREET - THE JOHN MUNOZ STORY. Showtime is 11:15a and tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance from The Last Picture House.
