Smokey & The Mirror are husband and wife duo Bryan and Bernice Hembree, originally members of folk/bluegrass trio 3 Penny Acre.
In June 2014 they assembled a band (including Daniel Walker on keyboards, Terry Ware (John Fullbright) on guitar, Nooch Carnuccio on drums, and Travis Linville on lap steel) and recorded the album Thin Black Line at Breathing Rhythm Studios in Norman, Oklahoma over a three day session.
Smokey & The Mirror has just released a new video (“Broken Smile” from Thin Black Line):
You can buy Thin Black Line here.
The Hembrees are also co-founders of the Fayetteville Roots Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas which is where I saw them perform on stage last year. In fact, their’s is a large footprint indeed on that event, a dynamic duo that is a music force at the festival and in the community generally. The response from the crowd to the duo last year was terrific and the warm feelings for this live-wire couple evident.
I will be heading back to Fayetteville this August and reporting on the event.
