Shane Smith and the Saints – 8:30pm
Shortly after Terrell native Shane Smith moved to East Texas to play tennis, he transferred to St. Edwards in Austin and began playing music, eventually forming Shane Smith & The Saints. Ten years later, the road warrior Americana band features fiddle, electric lead guitar, a stout rhythm section and four-part harmonies and plays around 200 shows a year on the Red Dirt/Texas Country circuit as well as a tour of Ireland. Their third album, “Hail Mary” (summer 2019) crosses “the gritty, blue-collar storytelling of Bruce Springsteen with the singsong hooks of Mumford & Sons.” “I don’t like just throwing stuff out there,” said Smith. “If I’m going to be singing about something every night, I try to make it personal, make it something I can really relate to. I like to sing with conviction, an honest conviction.” His voice and the band’s sound is unmistakable. The scrappy, talented Shane Smith & The Saints makes fans wherever they perform and will appeal to listeners, partiers and dancers of all ages.
