The Firebird Smith Blues Band is an original blues band that synthesises blues, rock, soul and jazz in the confines of a 7-piece outfit.

Original tunes that speak to the emotions sit alongside covers from artistes that walk the same ‘blacktop’ roads. Not for them the early delta blues, or the later synthesis of blues and rock, rather the band are drawn towards R&B, funk, soul and swing - hence the horn section!

So, if your bag is something more than re-hashed 12-bar rock/blues, or if you are eclectic in your appreciation of the blues, or even if you just love damn good ‘goodtime’ music, then you should check these guys out!

Featured on national and international radio shows, and with their new album ‘No Turning Back’ receiving a great reception, the band performs a unique blend of modern blues that no other outfit currently offers.

Tonight, expect the band to play blues with fire and passion! There are cuts from their latest album 'No Turning Back' - 'Hungry Dog', 'Don't Let Me Bleed' and the single 'Holding On'; alongside their arrangements of material from Lloyd Jones, BB King, Colin James, Coco Montoya and Delbert McLinton. Great music and good times!
