The Arkansas Highlands Folk Project (AHFP) presents Dave Smith in concert at the Garland County Library on Tuesday, December 6, 2022, at 6:30 PM. Seating will be first come, first served.
Stone County resident Dave Smith is well-known in the Arkansas Old-Time and Folk Music community. For 40 years he has been a regular performer at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, both as a solo musician and as a member of the folk trio “Harmony.” Smith’s concert at the Library will include a wide repertoire of folk music including some holiday tunes.
Charlie Moore, founder of the AHFP said “Dave Smith is one of the most versatile and experienced Old Time Musicians and preservationists in Arkansas. Many know him as the host of Ozark Highlands Radio’s weekly broadcast, but he is much more than that! He is the real deal. He will be playing 6 traditional instruments and his smooth vocals will take you back to a time many have forgotten or never knew – rural heritage.”
Dave Smith is a former winner of the senior division of the Arkansas State Fiddle Contest, and a recipient of the J Mulkey Kent Award for his contribution to the preservation of Old-Time fiddle music in 2018. Listen to Dave Smith every week on Public Radio as he hosts Ozark Highlands Radio.
