A night of fun and entertainment with Douglas Francis Mitchell, a Cranbrook singer/songwriter, and Wally Smith, a Wycliffe multi-instrumentalist who claims he can squeeze a tune out of a chicken. They are the ‘TuneSmiths’.
Mitchell has written over 125 songs on guitar and banjo, including songs for the Council of Canadians, the Ktunaxa Nation and BiketoworkBC. His songs have aired on CBC Toronto, Regina, Kelowna and Victoria. He has shared his musical perspectives with audiences from Nashville to Newfoundland, San Antonio to Tofino. His fourth album, ‘Kickin’ Round the Kootenays’ was released in the fall of 2022.
Wally Smith, a player of many instruments, feels the urge to make music flow no matter the genre—from Scottish small pipes to various drums, tin whistles, button accordion, mandolin, guitar and the most egregious instrument of all—the banjo.
