Thirty-plus year veteran singer, songwriter, guitarist, Joe Smith, can be found playing around town with many other wonderful musicians. Joe Smith is a guitarist extraordinaire and thus spreads his talent around with many bands of various styles. These bands include Neecy Brown and The All Stars (Lydia's band), The New Moon Express, The Zydeco Kings (a.k.a. The Bob Corlett Trio a.k.a. the Big Easy) and also appearances with Alex Bevan.
Because of the number of bands that Joe is involved in, it is sometimes difficult to post all of the gigs he will be appearing at in enough time. This site will be updated as often as possible, but to ensure you don't miss Joe Smith, check your local newspaper for the dates of any of the bands listed above.
