WHAT'S NEW Last updated June 6, 2013

Boston CD RELEASE SHOW at Club Passim!  Mark your calendars!  My brand spankin new CD, "Kitchen, Love..." is now OUT.  The Portand Release, at One Longfellow Square,  went awesome -- thanks to all who came out for the celebration!  But the Boston release, at the legendary Club Passim, is coming right up, June 13.  I'll have some great musicians with me - April Reed-Cox on cello, Adam Nordell on upright bass, Laurel Premo on Fiddle -- and Pesky J. Nixon's Jake Bush on accordian and harmony vocals! Come celebrate!!  The show will also feature the amazing Roots/Americana duo Red Tail Ring, from Kalamazoo, MI -- this is a show not to miss!

Order Your Copy of  "Kitchen, Love..."   HERE from my website, and have it shipped from my home to yours!

Gardening time!!  Yup, my touring season has officially come to an end, now that I've planted my spinach and peas.  Now is the season of homesteading!  While I am mostly busy in the garden, I will be playing shows and contradances around Maine (and a few trips around New England!), throughout the summer.  Check out my Shows page to learn more.

Back on the Road this Fall and Winter!  I have some extensive tours in the works for the fall and Winter, with shows already booked in Ilinois, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Califorinia.  If you live somewhere between East coast and West (!), consider hosting a house concert!  If I'm not already coming through your town, I would like to!  Shoot me an email at: info@putnamsmith.com, or for more info on House Concerts, click HERE.
