Steve Smith Summer Tour

Steve Smith & Vital Information will be on tour this summer – hitting both coasts and the Midwest in the month of July. Vital Information has been together longer than most jazz groups, Steve explains; “Vital Information has been together, recording and touring for 26 years and this current line-up, with Vinny Valentino on guitar, Tom Coster on keyboards and Baron Browne on bass, has been together 5 years now. Tom has been in the group over 20 years and Baron has been playing with us for 10 years. We’ve been able to keep some of the same players for so many years because we have so much fun making music together.  The band continues to be fresh to us because we’re constantly updating the arrangements and our set lists.  We have a large catalog of music to choose from and we’re always working on new material as well.”

The tour starts on July 1 in Los Angeles and concludes on Cape Cod on July 21. The touring pages of the Vital Information website has all the details for each date of the tour.
