RADNEY FOSTER, DARDEN SMITH PERFORMING SATURDAY AT THE BARNHILL CENTER

  

The Barnhill Center in downtown Brenham will host two of Texas’ most renowned singers, songwriters and authors tomorrow (Saturday).

Radney Foster and Darden Smith will appear together on stage at 7 p.m.  Both artists are revered in the music industry for their songwriting, which has produced many hits for themselves and other stars.

The Barnhill Center producer Sharon Brass says the two friends enjoy performing together, but the audience benefits the most.  She says, “It doesn’t matter if a story is spoken or put to music – it is all equally entertaining.”

Foster has been playing music and writing songs from his days growing up in Del Rio.  He moved to Nashville to his college years and made his recording debut as half of the duo called Foster & Lloyd.  Foster began his solo career in 1992 and his album “Del Rio, TX 1959” produced four Top 40 hits.  His show at The Barnhill Center will be part of his celebration tour to commemorate the 30^th anniversary of the album.

Smith grew up in Brenham and now lives in Austin.  He began writing songs at 10 years old and started recording in 1986.  Over his 36-year career, he released sixteen critically-acclaimed albums.  His singles charted in both the Country and Pop categories, including the Top 10 hit “Loving Arms.”  His most recent album, “Western Skies,” was released on March 25^th, with a companion book of the same name.

Tickets for the concert are still available starting at $30.  They can be purchased at https://thebarnhillcenter.com.
