Smithfield
Fair
Smithfield
Fair has
been
described
by
critics
as “a
folksy
Supertramp”
with “a
distinct
Peter
Gabriel
vibe”.
Meaning?
They are
hard to
pin
down,
hard to
pigeonhole,
definitely
indefinable.
The
group's
music
has been
heard
the
world
over on
radio,
television,
internet
radio,
film,
and
stages
ranging
from
festivals
to
concert
halls to
house
concerts.
Smithfield
Fair is
currently
experiencing
a fury
of
downloads
from
over 60
internet
sites.
Now in
its 20th
year,
Smithfield
Fair has
never chosen
the obvious
musical path
– exhibited
on eleven
albums – and
continues to
grow.
Together,
the members
of
Smithfield
Fair create
a dynamic
atmosphere
to transport
listeners
through time
and space,
away from
their daily
concerns and
deposit them
on safer
ground with
a feeling of
hopefulness.
Audiences
consistently
comment on
the enormous
sound the
quartet
achieves and
the power
and depth of
the musical
presentation.
Reviewers
have noted
the group’s
live shows
exhibit
influences
of folk,
jazz, swing,
pop, and
Celtic,
while
remaining ‘a
cohesively
warm whole’.
