An Evening with Chris Smither

Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. Reviewers and fans from around the world agree that Chris is a profound songwriter, a blistering guitarist and, as he puts it, a ‘one-man band to the bone!’ Chris melds the guitar styles of his two major influences, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Mississippi John Hurt, into his own signature sound. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers.

Smither has two albums releasing in the upcoming months. Still on the Levee is to be released July 22, 2014. ‘Link of a Chain’ will be released on September 16, 2014 which contains stellar tribute versions of Chris Smither originals.
