Review: SmithField dazzles at Irving Plaza in New York City (Includes first-hand account)

Their set included a crisp version of “Slow Hands,” as well as an impressive rendition of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River.” They even delivered on their take of Aerosmith’s “Jaded,” as Jennifer Fielder tackled the queens of 90’s country, Shania Twain and Faith Hill, with “That Don’t Impress Me Much” and “This Kiss” respectively, both of which were sheer bliss.

They greeted their New York audience and shared that they are from Texas. Trey Smith was excellent on his version of “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls, as he accompanied himself on acoustic guitar. “Y’all sing with me,” he said, and he was joined by a packed Irving Plaza venue for the chorus of “Iris,” which was stunning.

Jennifer noted that “Still a Few” is a song that despite all the craziness in the world, there are still a few good people in the world. This tune was lyrically and sonically powerful. SmithField closed their set with their smash single “Hey Whiskey.”

The Verdict

Overall, SmithField was able to warm up the stage for Irving Plaza headliner Granger Smith. Their harmonies were simply glorious. Their music is worth more than just a passing glance, and they are recommended seeing live in concert. Their show garnered 4.5 out of 5 stars.
