Mrs. Smith Shreds Le Poisson Rouge in WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY SHRIEKS

Noted philanthropist, tone poet, and world's most unlikely guitar hero, Mrs. Smith comes to Le Poisson Rouge (LPR) on March 7, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. for an encounter with unbridled musical exploration, fully bonkers comedic storytelling, and Lady of a Certain Age pathos.

Freshly crowned the winner of the "Shred for Your Life" contest at Webster Hall, Mrs. Smith and her band, The Rage, will sonically delve into the traumatic life events that have made her the guitar virtuoso she is today. From her Little House on the Prairie-style childhood to her kidnapping at the hands of a Norwegian death metal band, Mrs. Smith will leave no stone unturned and no note unplayed. Her performance will feature the music of ABBA, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Taylor Swift, Van Halen, Sia, and Metallica, among others.

"These days it seems everyone wants me to shred, shred, shred." said Mrs. Smith. "I'm so delighted people enjoy this music, but I want to them know that it all comes from incredible pain. I need them to get close to my pain or I can't keep doing this. I'm exhausted!" exclaimed the guitar goddess. The artist is greatly looking forward to the show, so much so that she recorded her enthusiasm in this video.

"Le Poisson Rouge is excited to play host to Mrs. Smith and The Rage for "While My Guitar Gently Shrieks," says Brianne Sperber, LPR's Marketing Director. "Coming off of their recent sold-out-performance at Joe's Pub, this show is an electrifying and hilarious one-two musical comedy punch that melds together the venue's eclectic offerings into one night."

Tickets for Mrs. Smith at LPR are $20.00 for seating and $15.00 for standing room, and are available online here.
