Sounds Like
A folksy Supertramp...with a definite Peter Gabriel vibe.
Although Smithfield Fair is in its 20th year, the members were previously together in Charmer and the two groups represent 4 decades of original music. Evidence the combined songwriting and performing captured on "Smithfield Fair: Twenty for Twenty" and "Charmer: The Perfect Cafe", and a sense of dedication is apparent. Their music is a pastiche - a strong blending of Celtic and Americana - including bits of blues, gospel, jazz, folk, classical and pop. Truly, as one reviewer remarked, Smithfield Fair is "a folksy Supertramp." Jan, Dudley and Bob have also combined with long-time co-producer/guitarist J. David Praet and percussionist Merel Bregante on their newest release - "The Longing" - as they did previously on the critically-acclaimed "Walking Through This World" The new Jan & Dudley composition "Radio" is featured here from "The Longing". Long noted by critics and reviewers for the warmth and high standard of quality in their recordings and performances, the trio continues to received worldwide recognition and airplay.
Thanks Dudley! We'll miss being at Stone Mtn this year, but I hope we'll see y'all again before too long. I'll definitely let you know when the cd is finished. Jil
It was great to see you all at Jackson, though I didn't get to hear you live - just on the cd. What a busy weekend!! We'll miss being at Stone Mtn with you this year. Maybe next year....
It was a pleasure seeing you guys at Six Strings. It's always a pleasure to see and listen to you guys anytime. Thank you so much for the CD. Got a chance to listen to it today, enjoyed it very much. I find it reminiscent of "Walking Through This World". Take care, God bless till we meet again.
Great Job on Friday night at Six Strings! Love the new CD and the 1st live performance of The Longing with guest appearance by Mark Menikos. Thanks, Dave

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
