8:00–9:00 p.m.—Lansing Center Comprised of vocalists Trey and Jennifer, SmithField took the stage by storm with their memorable music and stunning harmonies. Having grown up together, their on-stage chemistry is undeniably genuine and natural. Mixing the heavily rock influenced background of Trey and the classical country tendency of Jennifer, SmithField creates a contemporary country sound that’s different and compelling. SmithField’s sophomore single “Hey Whiskey” made its video world premiere on CMT this fall and is currently on SiriusXM The Highway, Spotify and iTunes.

“SILVER BELLS” LYRICS City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you’ll hear (Chorus) Silver bells, silver bells It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush Home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa’s big scene And above all this bustle You’ll hear (Repeat Chorus)
Saturday, Nov. 19 and Sunday, Nov. 20, 8 a.m.–12 p.m. at Troppo, 111 E. Michigan Ave. Bring the family for a pancake breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Enjoy holiday crafts, cookie decorating and writing letters to Santa. For reservations call Troppo at 517-371-4000.
