The sudden death of Smoky Dawson earlier this month has touched all sectors of the Australian music community. Some of his dearest friends will join together to honour the singing cowboy with a tribute concert on Smoky’s 95th birthday, March 19.
There’s no word on the line-up yet, but expect some of Australian country music’s biggest names. The event will be a joyous occasion in keeping with Smoky’s own happy spirit.
The Adventures Of Smoky Dawson … A Life Remembered will take place on March 19 at the Hills Performing Arts Centre, in Castle Hill, Sydney. Tickets will be available soon through Ticketek. All proceeds will benefit Bear Cottage, one of Smoky’s favourite children’s charities.
