Curt Smith Takes Up Residency For Six Nights At Whitefire Theatre

Here’s a great opportunity to see Curt Smith solo live before he heads out on the road with Tears For Fears this Fall. Smmith, along with Charlton Pettus, Doug Petty and Jamie Wollam will be playing six nights at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks, CA on Thursday, April 14, 21 and 28, Wednesday May 18, 25 and June 1, all at 8:00 PM. This is a small, intimate venue, so tickets are sure to go fast. You can purchase tickets for any of the six shows right now by clicking here.

“My last L.A. residency was in early 2009, and I’ve wanted to do another ever since,” says Smith. “2010 was an incredibly busy year between Tears tours and solo recording, but I was determined to play a residency in 2011. The timing is right this Spring, and the Whitefire is a wonderful venue for me. It’s a proper theatre, yet intimate enough for me to really interact with the audience, which I enjoy. I have, after all, dubbed these shows ‘An Evening of Music and Sarcasm.'”

Smith will perform two sets each show. He’ll draw his set lists from his solo albums Halfway, pleased, and Mayfield; his recent “social media project” collaborations; Tears For Fears favorites; and covers of songs he admires. Joining Smith on stage will be the aforementioned musicians Charlton Pettus on guitar, Doug Petty on keyboards and Jamie Wollam on percussion. All are members of the Tears For Fears touring band.

Anyone attending any of these shows should request his version of the theme song to Psyche as it was very cool and would be amazing to hear live. And stay tuned to Pop Culture Zoo for more updates about Curt Smith and Tears For Fears!
