Smalls’ Time! On the eve of the NAMM show, LA’s Palace Theater was the place to be as bassist Derek Smalls (formerly of the band formerly known as Spinal Tap) debuted “Lukewarm Water Live! An Adventure In Loud Music”. The invite-only crowd watched Smalls break free from his former band and breathe life into getting old, performing selections from his 2018 release Smalls Change (Meditations Upon Ageing).
