PORTRAITS: LIVE! With GE Smith & LeRoy Bell (7pm or 9pm)

Loading Events

Join us in the garden for exclusive LIVE performances, hosted by John Loeffler ( BMG Creative) to celebrate the release of GE Smith and LeRoy Bell’s new album Stony Hill. Among the hits to be played is the stirring new song, “America”. The track is a mellow blues tune that moves with a heavy groove and allows Smith to peel off plenty of intricate guitar licks. They will showcase a stripped-down acoustic set of their R&B, song collection and with Bell’s smart lyrics /Mass confusion, our constitution — they’re tryna burn it down,” or the Motown nod, “Let the Sunshine” They will leave you, without a doubt humming, their hooky tunes and wanting more!
