Highlands Hammock Announces Brian Smalley Concert
Sebring: Florida’s folk balladeer Brian Smalley is scheduled to play at Highlands Hammock State Park on Saturday evening, February 16, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Smalley is an original songwriter whose high-energy acoustical guitar and soulful, earthy voice complement an unusual repertoire that includes history, Florida, and himself. His Civil War ballad “Chickens Pigs” was named Best Florida Folk CD of 2013 by the Florida Times-Union. Inspired by the Florida Keys, he has written both moving and humorous meditations set in Key West. Known for playing old-time, flat-pick guitar, audiences may also notice regional influences on his music as he moved all over the country while growing up and absorbed many different musical styles. https://www.reverbnation.com/briansmalley.
