Caitlyn Smith’s final “The Christmas Show” Residency show is ending this December 22nd, 2023. We first mentioned her Minnesota Residency shows earlier in May 2023:
Monument Records’ powerhouse vocalist Caitlyn Smith is heading out on tour in support High & Low.
She was nominated for ACM’s “New Female Artist of the Year”
“What a week! I’m both honored and grateful to be nominated for an ACM Award for ‘New Female Artist of the Year.’ What a joy it is to be in the company of such incredible artists,” shared Smith. “I moved to Nashville to chase this dream over a decade ago and to get that news the day before my third album drops is beyond anything I could have ever dreamed. This record is so personal and stepping into the producer chair for it was both terrifying and empowering, but I knew in order to grow I had to allow myself to get comfortable with the uncomfortable. I’m so excited to finally share it with the world.”
For Minnesota: Smith is doing a Minnesota Residency:
- 05/14 at 7th Street Entry
- 05/24 at Turf Club
- 09/29 at First Avenue
- 12/22 at Fitzgerald Theatre

Celebrate Festivus this December 23, 2023, at the Fine Line, in Minneapolis.
As you know this Seinfeld “holiday” is anti-Christmas, at least the commercialism of the gift-giving holiday. Festivus takes place every year on December 23rd.
This year’s lineup features music from:
• BIG DELICIOUS
• 120 Minutes
AIRING OF GRIEVANCES + FEATS OF STRENGTH
with Super Atomic Thunder Frog and Brandon Gore from F1RST Wrestling
• hosted by Dru Nustad
Christmas Eve
