Mindy Smith

Mindy Smith is a country and folk singer who has earned a reputation as an artist to watch, as well as some well-known admirers. Smith's big break came in 2003, when she was tapped to appear on Just Because I'm a Woman: The Songs of Dolly Parton, a high-profile tribute album to the country superstar that found her performing alongside Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, and Parton herself. That same year, Smith signed a deal with Vanguard Records, and her debut album, One Moment More, was released in early 2004. In 2006 she returned with her second full-length, Long Island Shores. The holiday collection My Holiday followed shortly in October. She released several albums in the 2010s, including a self-titled full-length in 2012. ~ Mark Deming
