Muddy Sunshine recording artist Billy Smith will perform at a CD release party Thursday, May 22 at The Station Inn in Nashville, Tenn. The celebration is in honor “Five Flat Rocks,” Smith’s newest CD. The band will kick off the music at 9:00 pm and cover charge is $10.00 at the door.

Chris Henry (mandolin), Matt Combs (fiddle), Dave Talbot (banjo), Jon Weisberger (bass) and Marilyn Smith (vocals) will be backing Smith.

Fellow label mate Rocky Alvey (”Blackberry Jam” & Muddy “Coal Mine”) will join Smith as well.

Billy Smith carries the repertoire of most of the first generation bluegrass music pioneers around in his head and heart. The natural result of growing up onstage and performing with artists like the Father of Bluegrass Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt and Jimmy Martin. Billy’s mother, Hazel Smith is a well-known country music journalist and television cooking show host and brother Terry Smith plays bass for The Grascals, IBMA’s reigning Entertainers of the Year, but Billy himself is most known for his soulful, impassioned live performances, as well as being an award-winning songwriter.
