The Smittle Band will hold free concert at AETN
The Smittle Band will perform a free concert at the Arkansas Educational Television Network studios at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 17, for an upcoming episode of “AETN Presents: On the Front Row.”
The public is invited to this free performance, which will be taped for broadcast at a later date. Anyone interested in being part of the audience is asked to R.S.V.P. at www.aetn.org/rsvp and arrive at the studio by 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 17. AETN is located at 350 South Donaghey in Conway.
The Smittle Band formed two years ago and features vocalist Stephanie Smittle from Cave Springs, Ark. The Smittle Band has been described as “jazzy Americana” featuring smooth vocals and a pop sensibility and is reminiscent of Smittle’s childhood Baptist church stylings. The group produced its first CD, “Bright Street,” in October 2010 and features the songwriting of Smittle and Wythe Walker. The Smittle Band features Stephanie Smittle on vocals; Wythe Walker on acoustic and electric guitars; Jim McGehee on keyboard; Ray Wittenberg on drums; and John Davies, who spent a decade with The Cate Brothers and several years on the road with Michael Burkes, on bass.
