Along with repertoire spanning the 1920's through to today, Smith's own pop originals will be represented, with selections performed from his electropop albums Nova and Supernova. Joining Benjamin on synthesizer and accordion on stage will be New York nightclub veteran, Tracy Stark on piano, and Broadway's Kevin Garcia on percussion. Kim David Smith is a Helpmann Award nominated singer and nightclub performer, known for his Weimar-era inspired works that juxtapose authentic musical material with stylistic takes on current popular tunes. His electro-pop albums Nova, Supernova, and cabaret EP, The Tease, are available worldwide on iTunes and Amazon.
