I'm so excited to share my latest creation with you that I'm offering it as a free download before it's even 100% done!! It's called "I Will Raise My Voice" and it's the deepest place I've ever come from. Click the link above to download the track in it's current state (pre-strings and background vocals). This version will only be available for a limited time. All I ask is that you spread the word! Send people here to kirasmall.com and invite them to hear and download the track. This song WANTS to be heard.
Thank you for giving me someone to sing to - it's how I remember who I am.

Say My Name again, baby! New songs, new pics... posted - April 24, 2008
I've finally posted a few new, unreleased songs for you to hear on my MUSIC page, one of which is a live version of "Say My Name" at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta, GA - hot, hot, hot!!! (I was wearing these shoes when I played it...why would I not??)
I've also posted new pix from WesFest 3 on my PHOTOS page, like this gorgeous shot by John Wehmiller - double hot, hot hot!!!
Go now - listen, look, groove, smile, holla, whatever.
And if you're looking for something good to do with your tax rebate check, go to the bottom of my LINKS page and donate some of it to the ASPCA through the link there. God is extra nice to people who are nice to animals. That's what I think, anyway.

Are my new t-shirts fabulous or what??!? Oh my gosh. Here, look:
They're based on a song of mine by that name, which we haven't yet recorded but it's very popular when we play it live. (**Live solo version now posted on my MUSIC page!!**) Go to the "BUY STUFF" page and get you a few or I'll send these guys after you...
Bluebird Cafe hosts Kira Small & friends - 11/20 @ 6pm posted - November 7, 2007
I've played in other people's rounds at the Bluebird but this is the first time I'm hosting one. As if that weren't enough to get excited about, check out who'll be joining me:
Lisa Silver ("40 Hour Week" - Alabama, "One Promise Too Late" - Reba)
Daryl Mosely ("He Saw It All" - Booth Brothers)
Cindy Richardson Walker ("Almost Over You" - Sheena Easton)
I have amazing friends. In addition to being brilliant writers, these three have pretty rocking singer/player credentials. Daryl sings like an angel, plays upright bass for The Osborne Brothers, and was lead singer and bassist of The New Tradition. Cindy and Lisa have sung (and played fiddle in Lisa's case) on hundreds of hit records. Anyone within earshot that night will be blown away, I promise. Oh - and those background vocals on my CD? It's me with Cindy and LIsa - so expect some of that magic up close and personal and unplugged and stuff.
For reservations, please call 615-383-1461 between 11am and 4:30pm CST Monday-Friday, or click on Bluebird Cafe right up there to reserve a table online. (web link on my calendar page)
