*Why "uncommon music"? Try explaining Smithfield Fair's music to a stranger.
Music reviewers, critics and industry writers LOVE to compare one music to other known artists.
Can you accurately describe Smithfield Fair's music to anyone else?
Some have called it: 70's-inflected acoustic pop, roots-based acoustic traveling songs, an un-updated Peter, Paul and Mary, and our favorite - a folksy Supertramp.
