Paul D. Smith
2022-09-18 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Grand Annex, 434 W. 6th St., San Pedro, CA, 90731
Paul Deiss Smith II is a singer/songwriter and guitar player from Long Beach, CA. His voice, acoustic arrangements, and guitar playing have been compared to The Milk Carton Kids, Iron and Wine, and Sam Amidon.
Paul’s acoustic-folk music is deeply intertwined with his Christian spirituality. His 2021 debut full-length album, The Pious Harp for The Weary Soul, ushers in a contemplative stillness and internal quietude. His album, and Grand Annex performance include acoustic guitar and vocal trio, string quartet, and trumpet. Tender in expression but bold in conception, the instrumental arrangements and lyrics reflect Paul’s gentle, yet vibrant personality.

Hello and THANK YOU for your interest in Pretzel Logic. Advanced ticket sales are closed. We will have very limited tickets for sale at the door. Doors open at 7:30pm.
Led by Steve Chernove, the 11-piece Pretzel Logic band delivers a spot-on tribute to the music of Steely Dan, capturing the signature riffs, smooth vocals, and jazz-inspired horns. The band’s vast repertoire comprises over 70 songs from the Steely Dan songbook – from the big hits to the lesser-known songs for diehard Steely Dan fans. With three vocalists, horns and a solid rhythm section, Pretzel Logic seamlessly matches the unforgettable hooks on hits like Peg, Do It Again, Reelin’ in the Years, Deacon Blue, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Hey Nineteen and many more.
