Besides singing and performing music, Smith is also a movie and TV actor, appearing in many recent films. He also hosts his own music TV show called "Henri Smith's N'awlins East" on the Cape Ann Cable TV Network.
Along with his jazz musicians, Smith will be joined on stage by local guest vocalist Diane Disanto.
