Eastport Arts Center will present a concert by singer/songwriter and musical storyteller Alex Smith on Saturday, August 31 at 7 pm, presenting a delicious pairing with the day’s city-wide Salmon and Seafood Festival activities. Smith grew up in the heart of New York’s Adirondack Park, and his music strives to echo the culture of that area, building songs from a blend of traditional folk harmony and modern lyrics. Writing about contemporary concerns while paying homage to his region’s musical roots, Smith draws on the triumphs and hardships of friends, relatives and neighbors to create fictitious characters who teeter on the balance between beauty and imperfection.
