Featuring the songwriting of members Stephanie Smittle and Wythe Walker, Smittle Band’s “jazzy Americana” sound features suave vocals with a pop sensibility tonight on “AETN Presents.” The group’s original songs reflect vocalist Stephanie Smittle’s background in the Baptist church and highlight members Wythe Walker on acoustic and electric guitars; Jim McGehee on keyboard; Ray Wittenberg on drums; and John Davies, who spent a decade with The Cate Brothers and several years with Michael Burkes, on bass.

Returning to dazzle viewers with her second “Great Performances” solo concert, Jackie Evancho  follows her debut with a new special highlighting great songs from the silver screen. Recorded in the movie place splendor of the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles, Jackie puts a unique stamp on a variety of audience favorites, including “My Heart Will Go On” (“Titanic”), “Some Enchanted Evening” (“South Pacific”), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” (“The Lion King”), “Pure Imagination” (“Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory”) and “When She Loved Me” (“Toy Story 2”).
