Smithfield Fair manages to entrance the listener with beautiful melodies, stunning vocal performances and brilliant rhythms. (Adolf Goriup, FolkWorld)
For four decades, the focus of Smithfield Fair has been harmony vocals and original songs deftly placed over acoustic instrumentation.
Smithfield Fair has presented its heartfelt original music and arrangements of traditional songs across the United States on concert and festival stages;
in historic venues and theatres; at large events such as the World's Fair, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Kerrville Folk Festival; as well as in
the most intimate coffeehouses, cafes and house concerts. Flowers In Her Hair, Longships, James of the Glen, God Never Sleeps, Flying High and other
Smithfield Fair songs have become popular internationally through constant radio, satellite and internet airplay.
Smithfield Fair continues to be a true original, creating hopeful and imaginative songs, and performing them with passion, honesty and humor.
ACCORDION FOR SALE - Many people have asked us about Jan’s accordions and about accordions in general.
Where can they find one? How much do they cost? Does Jan ever sell her accordions?
The answer to the last question is ‘yes’.
Jan's Castiglione 5048, heard on the “Winter Kirk” album, is currently being offered for sale.
If you or someone you know is interested, email Nick Ballarini (ballarini@sbcglobal.net) for details.
