G.E. Smith and Felicia Collins Join Forces For One Night Only!

G.E. Smith is one of the most in-demand blues guitarists and musicologists in the world. He may be best recognized as the Emmy-award winning bandleader for NBC’s Saturday Night Live, but he has also done extensive touring playing in the bands of Bob Dylan, Roger Waters and recording with artists such as Mick Jagger, Tom Waits and many more. His first big break however came in 1979 when he teamed up with Daryl Hall and John Oates. Needless to say, G.E. Smith is a true savant of his craft.
Felicia Collins, renowned as the guitarist and vocalist for the CBS Orchestra/World’s Most Dangerous Band with Paul Shaffer on the Late Show with David Letterman, has built a dynamic career marked by versatility, passion, and groundbreaking artistry. Self-taught from childhood, she honed her craft through high-profile gigs with Al Jarreau and Cyndi Lauper before joining Letterman’s band for its entire run, also performing annually at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Beyond television, Collins led her own bands, produced the acclaimed Anarchists of Color II showcasing Black rock musicians, and earned praise for her stage role in the Off-Broadway production Marie and Rosetta. Her most recent project, Felicia Collins Discovers the Blues, recorded with members of Dumpstaphunk and longtime collaborators like Paul Shaffer, blends powerhouse talent with her deep-rooted musical influences, cementing her status as a trailblazer in contemporary music.
