Smash Mouth lead singer “smashed” at Norwalk oyster fest?

Steve Harwell, lead singer of Smash Mouth, delivered a performance that wasn’t exactly family-friendly at the Norwalk Oyster Festival on Sunday.

He slurred his speech, forgot the words to his songs and mumbled expletives into the microphone, according to multiple reports to Hearst Connecticut Media from spectators.

Video footage from one spectator can be found here.

Though bassist Paul DeLisle and guitarist Sean Hurwitz kept up a good face for the audience, keyboardist Mike Klooster and Harwell shared more than one unfriendly interaction, including an inappropriate hand gesture or two.

An e-mail was sent to Smash Mouth’s booking agent and the Norwalk Seaport Association was not available this morning.

When a Hearst Connecticut Media reporter tweeted about his performance, she was blocked by @SmashMouth’s Twitter.

This isn’t Harwell’s first blunder at a food festival. Earlier this June, Harwell got violently angry at the Taste of Fort Collins food fest in Colorado.

The performance took place at 4 p.m. on Sunday to a crowd of parents, children and friends.
