Guitarist plans show in Mineola
An incredible guitar concert is scheduled in Mineola on April 18 at 7 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of Broad Street Church of Christ, 440 W. Broad St.
It is presented by the Texas Fingerstyle Guitar Association.
Richard Smith is one of the rare artists with such mastery of his instrument that he excels in the performance of any genre of music. His shows include traditional fingerstyle tunes made famous by Chet Atkins and Merle Travis and ranges into Bach, blues and the Beatles.
His repertoire includes classical music and gypsy jazz, show tunes, pop tunes and movie scores. He plays his arrangements of John Philip Souza marches and Scott Joplin ragtime tunes. He is one of the preeminent performers of the incredible guitar music of Jerry Reed. Richard also sings and tells stories.
When not working in his recording studio in Nashville, touring with his cellist wife Julie Adams, performing with The Hot Club of Nashville or numerous other great musicians, Smith tours the world as a solo artist. Recent tours include Europe, South America, Japan, Australia and the US.
