Mackenzie's Tunes & Tonics

Sunny@Midnight (Jeff Smith and Sherry Stewart) return to Mackenzie's Tunes and Tonics (3950&nbsp;University Dr. in downtown Fairfax) with their super-sized quintet this Saturday May 9th at 8 pm. Jeff and Sherry will be joined by Ron Goad (percussion), John Werntz (bass), and Marcy Cochran (fiddle) for the no cover concert.
Jeff Smith is a musical raconteur whose poetic lyrics paint common experiences and filtered memories with a tender or playful brush. Singing in a honey-drenched Appalachian drawl, multi-instrumentalist Smith lays down a brew of what he calls a funky kind of country blues folk pop rock stomp.
Sherry Stewart writes songs about people, places, and things that have left an impression on her. Themes often evoke nature and leave the listener with a sense of longing only heightened by her angelic voice and vocal harmonies. She accompanies herself on mandolin, guitar and flute whether she is playing solo or with others.
For more information regarding Jeff Smith's musical endeavors see www.humanwilderness.com.
Mackenzie's Tunes and Tonics is a locally owned restaurant/bar that specializes in craft cocktails. For details about Mackenzie's see www.mackenzies.com
