Here we are on-stage at Water Street Station in Torrington, CT.  We played this venue several times in 1990 and '91.  It is a great room with a real stage and it is a shame that it is no longer a place for live music in Torrington.

We have been advertised as many variations on our name which of course in 1991 was D. Smith Blues Project.  No More Filmore's in Bristol, which thankfully is now just "no more" isn't too far off the mark with simply "Smith Project."

In October of 1990 we played our first of what was to be many shows at the Muni in Hartford, CT.  For much of 1994 we were the host band of a blues jam at the Muni where we met and played with several fine local blues players.

Not sure where this was taken but it is early as evidenced by T-Bone's white drums.
