10 Days Til Christmas Giveaway at Smith's Olde Bar

What's up Smiths Olde Blog readers!

I'd say good morning, but I just realized it was already 1 p.m. and now all I can think about is - why haven't I had lunch yet?

I feel like this is a good time to start some sort of "10 Days Til Christmas Giveaway" thing. What do you think?

Yea, let's do that. We're going to do this "first come first serve" style.
From today until December 23 we're going to giveaway one pair of tickets for each show at Smith's Olde Bar. All you have to do is be the first to comment in the comment section with your name, email address and what show you want to go to.

Rebirth Brass Band at Smith's - Saturday, December 13

It's gross outside today. Gray, raining, not good.

So to pass the time - we shall blog!

We've got a great show this weekend - and by the title of this blog you may have guessed - straight from New Orleans - it's the Rebirth Brass Band!

It's the perfect way to shake off this rainy gray day - and relieve a little pre-holiday stress while you're at it!


*feel like you're right there in the middle of the French Quarter!

We're randomly selecting 2 lucky contestants and giving away 2 pairs of tickets to the show! All you have to do is leave your name and email in the comments section of this blog and on Friday at 5PM we'll pick the winners via a little something called "tic-tac-toe."

Ben Taylor in the Atlanta Room - Tonight!



Returning to Smith's Olde Bar for a very special show tonight is the one and only - Ben Taylor!

When your parents are James Taylor and Carly Simon, songwriting is so deeply ingrained in your DNA that becoming a musician just makes sense. So Ben did exactly that.

We're pumped about tonight's show and thought you'd like to know about it!

To makes things even better, Ben Taylor is performing in the cozy and intimate Atlanta Room. Make sure to get your tickets early - this show will sell out!

Fastball at Smith's Olde Bar - Ticket Giveaway!

It's not easy coming back after a good long break, tons of food, and a rainy cold weekend - but I wrestled out of bed and here I am, blogging and giving things away.

Tonight we have a very special show featuring Fastball - you might only know them from their late 90's hit single "The Way," but the Austin, TX pop rock trio has been putting out records and touring extensively for well over a decade.

On tour for the better part of 2008, Fastball is putting the final touches on a new record set to be released in the coming months.

So, since we're in the "giving season" I'm going to give away 2 pairs of tickets to tonight's show!
