Just email the attachements to info@smtmd.org. We would be grateful and you would be famous! Now, how cool is that!

 

19th Street Band
Was Terrific!

The 19th Street Band played at our monthly concert in June provided everyone with a wonderful time. They are a high energy trio that has been writing music and performing in our arrea for several years. They have had the honor of sharing the stage with country music stars such as Rodney Atkins, Craig Morgan, and Chuck Mead. They have opened for The Wheeler Brothers and Spirit Family Reunion at The Hamilton as well as Grammy Award-winning Western Swing icons, Asleep at the Wheel, at The Birchmere. They have also packed the house at such venues as the 9:30 Club, Black Cat, Strathmore, Jammin’ Java, Rock & Roll Hotel, Kingman Island Bluegrass Festival, The Washington Folk Festival, Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in Nashville, The Black Box in Belfast, and Hill Country BBQ and Pianos in NYC. Check out their new original album, The Things That Matter, released in March 2017.
