Rosi Golan
Wednesday April 22nd, 2009
Doors @ 6pm - $12 adv
William Fitzsimmons is one of the oddest people you will ever meet. Born the youngest child of two blind parents, William was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Due to the family's inability to communicate through normal visual means, William's childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands. When his father's orchestral records were not resonating through the walls, his mother would educate him on the folk stylings of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel.

Since his emergence in the early nineties amidst the Bronx hip-hop scene, the New York City based deejay has been amassing a veritable mountain of collaborations ranging from the likes of: Medeski Martin and Wood, Christian McBride, Vernon Reid, Charlie Hunter, Jack DeJohnette, John Mayer, Ben Harper, Mos Def and The Roots, to name but a few.

KODAC HARRISON, elected Atlanta’s “2008 BEST LOCAL POET” by Creative Loafing, has been often referred to as “a Southern Tom Waits” and “a rural Leonard Cohen.” The beatnik-bluesman has been a staple musician/ poet in Atlanta for decades, forever proving that following trends should be last on your list if you want to leave a lasting impression on an audience! For over 2 decades Georgia native, CHRIS CHANDLER, has been touring with his “performance poetry” either as a street artist, on college campus tours, large-scale music festivals, or at G-8 protests. Trust us, the HARRISON/CHANDLER combo is a show no one should miss! Seattle based Folk/blues vagabond musician PAUL BENOIT to open!

JANUARY 2009 - LUIS' PICKS!
What's up Smiths Olde Blog readers!!!
We've got a special blog entry today - and possibly going to be doing this every first week of each month - LUIS' PICKS! Find out what shows Smith's Olde Bar former door guy - Luis - recommends!
Let us know what you think!
FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 – FIVE EIGHT, AUTHORS APOLOGY, YOUNG ANTIQUES, HOLY LIARS
Athens, GA pop-punk trio FIVE EIGHT has been rocking socks off since the late 80’s. Jumping over every imaginable hurdle a band can (drugs, deaths, label deals gone south). After all the bouncing around, they’ve come back better, louder, and stronger. The proof is in their live shows - and if you don’t believe us ask one of their recent tour mates - R.E.M.
Doors at 8 p.m. // $10 adv. // $12 at door // www.myspace.com/fiveeight
TUESDAY, JANUARY 13 // THE SPRING STANDARDS and JEFF TAYLOR
3-piece harmonies, swinging rock n’ roll and a nice little country twist. That’s what you should expect from NYC’s THE SPRING STANDARDS. Recently appearing on Conan O’Brien, the Spring Standards on tour with Brooklyn based experimental musician – JEFF TAYLOR. This is one of those “Hot Ticket” shows and you should get yours today!
Doors at 7 p.m. // $10 ADV - $12 door // www.myspace.com/thespringstandards // www.myspace.com/dumpsterhunter
SATURDAY, JANUARY 17 // HAMELL ON TRIAL
~ in the Atlanta Room ~
Tenacious D meets Bill Hicks. An angry story telling musician, filled with dark humor and plenty of insightful commentary about every day life. Ed Hamell, the mastermind behind HAMMEL ON TRIAL, has toured extensively with Ani DiFranco, is once again taking his one-man theatrical show on the road. Make sure you’re here when he does!

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21 // PJ MORTON, JIMI CRAVITY
Songwriter, producer and musical prodigy are all acceptable titles on PJ MORTON’S business card. The Grammy-award winner has worked with an array of musicians including India Arie, Jermaine Dupree and Musiq Soulchild – just to name a few. Influenced at a young age by The Beatles and James Taylor, PJ MORTON describes his own genre as somewhere between Stevie Wonder and Sting – and we like the sound of that! Atlanta local sing-songwriter JIMI CRAVITY kicks it off with his musical storytelling tunes.
Doors at 8 p.m. // $8 in Adv. // $10 at Door // www.myspace.com/pjmorton www.myspace.com/jimicravity
SUNDAY, JANUARY 25 // THE WOES and LITTLE TYBEE
Smith’s Olde Bar hosts a night of gypsy folk with NYC’s THE WOES. Combining New Orleans big band horns with banjos and punk, the Woes sound like Gogol Bordello fronted by Tom Waits high on bluegrass. LITTLE TYBEE, formerly The Brock Scott Quartet and winners of the 2007 Open Mic Madness, start the night out with fresh tunes ready to impress audiences and win over hearts across the board!
