✔️ Levi The Poet w/Dan Smith/Kris Rochelle It’s been less than a month since the guys played in Ybor City, so spoken-word artist Levi the Poet plus Dan Smith and Kris Rochelle (frontman and drummer for Fayetteville, Arkansas rock band Listener, respectively) are taking it to Seminole Heights for a gig as part of the trio’s “Friendly Christmas Tour,” which is dropping them into intimate spaces so they can better get to know fans and each other while sharing coffee and songs. Rochelle will likely play songs from his Red Sweater Lullaby project, so we’re hoping Smith does a little hip-hop, since Listener’s sound leaned that way after its inception more than a decade ago.
