YOUR SMITH+ Chelsea Jade
Fine Line Music Café

Your Smith (aka Caroline Smith version 3.0), is returning to the Fine Line Music Café this Tuesday, January 21st. As you know, we’ve been supportive of Smith since her humble beginning in Minneapolis – appearing as Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps in April 2009, as an Americana folk singer (although we did talk about her in Sep 2008).
Then something interesting happened, by the time her album Half About Being A Woman came out in 2013, Caroline Smith had shifted musical direction! We wrote about how her new sound is more like Sixties soul (after seeing her as headliner in Sep 2013). Of course, all of this is confirmed, when she was asked to open up for the screaming eagle of soul, Charles Bradley in Dec 2013.
If that wasn’t enough, Caroline Smith teamed up with Lizzo (who is now an international star!) and a few collaborative singles and co-headlining shows in Sep 2014.
By 2016, Smith moved to Los Angeles and re-invented herself as Your Smith.
Chelsea Jade to open.

Jordan Davis’s upcoming show at the Varsity Theater sold out, so the band decided to quickly book a second show. The Nashville-singer recently released his cover of Jo Dee Messina’s “Heads Carolina, Tails California” on Amazon Music… which I would imagine will go well at his shows in Carolina or California.
Show up early to check out Kassi Ashton.
