We’ve been able to travel the world, make countless life long friends, share stages with some of the best bands of our generation and play some incredible venues and festivals! We’re going to be putting all that excitement and nostalgia into our set for this tour, playing songs off every album and trying to give something back to all the incredible Smithies fans old and new! So much has changed since those early days, we’ve gone from rat bag kids to slightly less rat bag adults but the thing that’s never changed has been how much we love playing and how passionate we are about the music we make and the people we make it with!”www.thesmithstreetband.com
