Friday, July 12 we start with an Intermediate-Level Songwriting Workshop with David G Smith at 5-7pm, followed by David in concert from 7:30-9pm. If an attendee wants to participate in both the workshop and show, advance purchase is $30 per ticket. If you wish to attend the show (but not the workshop) advance tickets will be available at $20. David is adding as an incentive: Every person who purchases the combo ticket will receive one of my albums free-of-charge. The workshop will include a 2-3 page handout that will be provided (if David knows the number of attendees well in advance, thus the importance of buying those advance tickets!). We will have a link up soon!

I have walked beside David G Smith for many, many years, and I am in awe of his body of work. David’s brand new record, 'Witness Trees’, produced by Neilson Hubbard, contains groove, story, great singing and great songs. Bravo! —Mary Gauthier/Artist
"Like John Prine and Guy Clark, David G Smith draws inspiration from his life and those around him. His songs capture the drama and good times, the laughter and loss that are the components of the modern world." -Tom Wilks, ICON Magazine
