The day has finally arrived! David's 12th album HERO STREET launches today! The title track is featured on PBS in the just-released episode "Hero Street: The Last To Fall" created by FourthWallFilms.com. The Hero Street song and 9-part film series were inspired by 8 Mexican-American soldiers, their stories and their community. They exemplify courage and sacrifice. They inspire! This street and community is real and located in Silvis, IL. In the bigger picture, the potential hero lives in each of us...if and when we are willing to embrace it! Please visit https://davidgsmithmusic.com/home to purchase this new album, to see the tour schedule, and to find out more about the very compelling Hero Street story! We will continue posting about Hero Street related shows and events as they become known to us! While you're there, sign up for the David's newsletter and you'll be getting the inside scoop about what's going on in the Hey Dave world of music!

Any library! What a perfect setting for this storytelling songwriter. And what a story we have to tell....HERO STREET! Hero Street is located right there in your QC community. It's also the title track to my latest album....and the name of a 9 part film series being aired on PBS that the song is in (created by Fourth Wall Films). I will give a summary history of the HS community and the people who live on this 1.5 block long street in Silvis, IL. The show is FREE and will last for an hour. For more info please call (309) 524-2440.

I haven't played this long running series for awhile. The setting is in the backyard of an old fort smack in the middle of Nebraska! There's always an appreciative crowd and when the weather cooperates you can see ALL the stars in the galaxy! All ages welcome! $5 cover if I remember right! (Kids FREE)

I don't usually play Farmers Market gigs but there are a couple of exceptions. Greeley is one of them. I like this one because the view of the mountains combined with the pine scented morning air is hard to turn down. Mix in a little Kettle-Korn and fresh-baked bread and...what's not to like! 9-11am MST. All ages and FREE event.
