Hi everybody! I’m excited to be on MySpace, and I’m looking forward to staying touch with my friends and meeting new friends. About Me: I’m a Jazz and Blues singer based in San Francisco. I have a 7-piece band, and we’re fortunate to tour all over the US and internationally. I’m very proud of my band-they’re smokin’ and totally hot! I’m working on a new album that I’m very excited about-you can find out about it here or on my website, lavaysmith.com. My website also includes lots of photos and information about me and my band. Please send me a email through my website www.lavaysmith.com to receive my monthly calander!
