Respected musician Allan Smith is coming to Milford with a fresh, yet retro sound with his brand-new band, New Tattoo, to close out the popular, free Friday Night Live music series from 7-9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26.
The concert takes place in Milford’s downtown gazebo in Main Street’s City Center Park.
Smith’s brand of 60s and 70s style folk is a breath of fresh air, compared with other similar music that seems to want to emulate what his witty and refreshing lyrics have bestowed upon many pleased musical connoisseurs and aficionados. He has played overseas and across the country as well as locally in the Huron Valley area.

“Music has a way of bypassing our defenses,” he says. “My favorite art form is taking a single idea or thought and expressing it in a four minute song that can be heard in the heart, not just in the mind.”
The other members of New Tattoo are two multi-talented musicians, Ron Boyd and Christina Miller, who perform everything from exquisite guitar mastery to vocals to ukulele.

New Tattoo will perform some of Smith’s original songs as well as rock, blues and folk covers. Home in Michigan, a new original that will be performed by the group that night, is always a crowd pleaser. So come to Downtown Gazebo for a night of fun-filled music, art and fun for the whole family.
In addition to the musical performance, those watching New Tattoo can see local artists giving live demonstrations of their work.
Note that if the weather is inclement, the concert will be moved to nearby Milford Presbyterian Church; a decision will be made by 6 p.m.
