Hosted by Paul Durica (Chicago History Museum) and Mark Guarino (Country & Midwestern), the afternoon at The Hideout features musicians from a broad spectrum of styles honoring the late singer/songwriter Michael P. Smith, whose fifty-plus year career, in addition to a solo act, included a rock duo and trio (with Barbara Barrow), folk ensembles (Weavermania, Fourtold), composition for theatre (Steppenwolf, Victory Gardens, Blair Thomas & Co) and extensive collaborations (with Steve Goodman, Anne Hills, Jamie O’Reilly, James Lee Stanley and others).

Musicians on the bill Dec 16 include (in alphabetical order): Naomi Ashley, Judson Claiborne, Steve Dawson, Gerald Dowd, Rachel Drew, Mark Dvorak, Chris Farrell, Jon Langford, Jamie O’Reilly and Linda M. Smith.
