Hello, everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Smithfield Fair's newest album - The Longing - is now released. To celebrate this release, the group will be doing two concerts shortly to debut the CD.
Friday, August 28th - Smithfield Fair will appear at the Six Strings & Coffee Beans Coffeehaus at Advent Lutheran Church, 3232 S. Cooper Road, Arlington, Texas. Michael William Harrison will open at 7:00 and Smithfield Fair takes the stage at 8:00 to play music from through the past 20 years, plus several featured songs from The Longing. A great addition for us will be a guest appearance from fiddler Mark Menikos (Brother's 3, Texas Gypsies, Bard's Crossing) who plays with Smithfield Fair on the title track. The tickets are $10, available at the door.
On Saturday, August 29th, Smithfield Fair will perform at the Alexandria Museum of Art (933 Main Street downtown on the riverfront) at 7:00 p.m. Guest artist will be guitarist J. David Praet. Tickets for the concert are $10, available at the door or in advance from Saxon Guild or the Museum.
This is an exciting time and the band has never sounded better! Come out and hear and evening of great music. Peace - dbs
