For The Love Of Carrie Smith!

A living tribute to lighten a lady's heart. The Norman Simmons Trio, Robert Banks and Charles Banks will be on hand as we let legendary singer Carrie Smith feel the love and appreciation for being a favorite on the music scene for over 60 years. Blues, standards, and gospel were all represented beautifully by this powerful contralto who kept the authentic idiom vibrant with her uniquely bittersweet voice.
