About
Smith is deeply rooted in the tradition of British folk and American guitar music, drawing inspiration from Richard Thompson, John Martyn, and Ry Cooder. He has developed a transatlantic blend of fingerstyle and slide guitar techniques. His deeply romantic and vibrant songwriting, combined with his innovative guitar work, has earned him a loyal following. His honeyed voice and mesmerizing fingerstyle playing are undeniable. Sometimes using a slide, sometimes with the guitar in his lap, sometimes detuning mid-song or coaxing subtle expressions from an array of effects pedals, Smith's passion for the instrument has made him a master. Whether on album or live show, he always takes the listener on a deeply emotional journey.
