SMITHFIELD FAIR PERFORMANCE CALENDAR

Updated: May 5, 2024

Over the last 49 years, in its various incarnations and line-ups, Smithfield Fair and its members have played some wonderful venues - including the Ryman Auditorium (there's a funny story right there!) and the Bluebird Cafe (Oo, there's another story - not so funny) in Nashville, Rockefeller's in Houston and Poor David's Pub in Dallas with the Washington Squares, the World's Fair, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and the Kerrville Folk Festival. Legendary venues, to be sure. But in this storied musical journey, some wonderful shows for exceptional audiences happened in the most unexpected places. We have been honored to perform in house concerts in Scotland and throughout the United States.

Thanks to those who have supported our live shows and purchased our music.
