Gary Mitchel Smith

THE SOLO ACT

Imagine a world class guitarist performing with a complete band and orchestra... That sets the stage for the "Six String Journey" ... Gary performs his show with custom recorded tracks that are his own unique arrangements which include drums, bass, keyboards, percussion, strings and more. Gary produces and records these custom tracks at his commercial studio. Although Gary's show can cover any event or occasion, it's especially a good fit for premier hotels, resorts, casinos, fine dining, country clubs, private parties, corporate events or wedding receptions. Gary can gear his show for a laid back feel for fine dining or a more upbeat vibe for dancing and parties. He also carries his own HD sound system and that can deliver a big, full and rich sound at any volume with a small footprint. The show can travel to anywhere in the U.S., Canada and certain overseas destinations. This is a show you will not want to miss, and will, want see and hear... again and again. Come and join Gary on his "Six String Journey"!

THE QUARTET

Gary and the quartet, comprised of guitar, keys, drums and bass, can cover any event or occasion. It's especially a good fit for premier hotels, resorts, casinos, fine dining, country clubs, private parties, corporate events or wedding receptions. Gary can gear the show for a laid back feel for fine dining or a more upbeat vibe for dancing and parties. If the venue requires more than the quartet show, Gary can add additional musicians or vocalists to fit any musical combination required. He also carries his own HD sound system that can deliver a big, full and rich sound at any volume. This is a show you will not want to miss, and will, want see and hear... again and again. Come and join Gary on his "Six String Journey"!
