Big Smith
two-night hometown stand at the Outland Ballroom this
weekend Downtown’s where
Big Smith got its start (well, if you don’t include Grandma and Grandpa’s
garage, which we probably should) and downtown is where we love to be. We’re
going to be holding court there this weekend, in fact. We’ve asked two fine
acts to join us on respective nights to make it special: Dallas Jones and
his new combo The American Pennyroyals will be with us Friday night; and
our good buddies from Fayetteville, Charliehorse,
will provide a tough act to follow on Saturday night. Here are the details for the weekend, please join us! Friday, April 10 Big Smith performs at The Outland

Ha Ha Tonka has
gone on to glorious things with Bloodshot Records. We’re proud that they

your home for just $4 by following this link: http://www.bloodshotrecords.com/album/ha-ha-tonka-7.
Thanks, fellows, for remembering your roots. Keep an eye out for Tonka’s
forthcoming CD, Novel Sounds of the Nouveau South. The image at the

relocated our studio and office to a nice place in the country, where
prodigious work is currently being done on the new Big Smith CD, and wouldn’t
