No idea where or who. Possibly early 50s?

I believe the gent on the right and the lady in the middle are Smokey and Lucille Smith. Smokey was a performer and superb country music promoter from the Midwest area. I recently read the book SMOKEY - LegendaryLife of Iowa's Mr. Country Music. You can recognize Smokey by his trademark suit that had a front pocket for his cigars.

BTW, the book is a fabulous read for classic country music enthusiasts. Smokey knew & promoted practically everyone from Little Jimmy Dickens to Johhny Cash.

And check out Smokey’s slick footwear. Whoa! Dress to impress.
The guy on the bench behind Smokey looks like he’s trying to swipe some licks from the steeler.
