Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and musician Mindy Smith has released her new album, Quiet Town, via Compass Records.
Produced and recorded by Neilson Hubbard (Mary Gauthier, Kim Richey, Matthew Perryman Jones) at East Nashville’s Skinny Elephant Recording Studio, Quiet Town is an “exploration centered around the discovery of her Blue Ridge/Appalachian Mountain-based birth family, overcoming adversity, and the journey of strength, peace, and self-love.” The album is the Americana award winner’s sixth album and first album in 12 years.
Smith will return to the Grand Ole Opry stage on October 5 for her 17th appearance, followed by her fourth appearance on Mountain Stage December 1.
She will embark on the first leg of a U.S. tour in support of the album with stops in City Winery’s in New York City, Boston, Nashville, and Chicago, Portland, ME’s One Longfellow Square, Salt Lake City’s State Room, Vienna’s Jammin Java, and Decatur’s Eddie’s Attic, among others.
In addition to Smith and Hubbard (drums, percussion), Quiet Town also features musicians Lex Price (bass), Will Kimbrough (electric guitar), Danny Mitchell (piano, horns), Megan McCormick (electric guitar), Juan Solorzano (acoustic guitar) with background vocals by Matraca Berg, Park Chisolm, Nickie Conley, Maureen Murphy, K.S. Rhoads, Jodi Seyfried, and Kate York. The album was engineered and mixed by Dylan Alldredge and mastered by Jim DeMain at Yes Master Studios.
