Britt Small is a true American Patriot, and an American paratrooper, who served with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, in Vietnam. He is also a disabled veteran, and his music is the "sound track" of the American veteran's life. For 28 years, he traveled the United States & Canada, with his 12-piece band, Festival, entertaining audiences of all ages with their special brand of American patriotic music. In 1982, Britt Small & Festival played at the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, The Wall, in Washington, D.C. They returned to Washington, DC, in 1984, to perform at the dedication of the Three Fighting Men Statue, which today has become known as the "Forrest Gump" concert, due to the fact that Britt brought Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Sammy L. Davis, the real Forrest Gump, on stage to deliver his "Freedom Now" speech to the American public. In 1993, Britt Small & Festival were summon back to D.C. to perform at the dedication of the Vietnam Women's Memorial, and then again in 1995, for the dedication of the Korean War Memorial. They are the only group to be allowed to stand on top of The Wall, and sing during National Veterans Day ceremonies, and they performed over 45 concerts at the Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. In their 28 years together, they released 18 albums, and traveled over two million miles in their 1954 Greyhound Scenicruiser bus, performing from coast to coast, and border to border. Go to the "history" page; the pictures will tell the story. Britt Small is still traveling the country, backed by the digital tracks of Festival. His emotional performances are an experience you will never forget. Welcome to the world of Britt Small.
