The listener is welcomed into some gothic mansion on an imaginary New Orleans street, and there in the lamplit parlor confronts the band, a minimalist skeleton crew: Smithers inimitable propulsive guitar and rumbling baritone are joined seamlessly to producer David Goodrich’s carpetbag of instruments, Zak Trojanos rock steady, primal drumming, BettySoos diaphanous harmony vocals, and the flat, mournful flood of Jazz legend Chris Cheeks’ saxophone. Recorded at Sonelab Studios in Easthampton MA by Justin Pizzoferrato (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., the Hold Steady) All About the Bones has a feel that is somehow baroque and austere at once. Smither and his longtime producer David Goodrich have been refining their musical conversation for decades, both in the studio and onstage, and by now, their bond verges on the telepathic. Goodrich plays on nearly every track. His sound is by now so translucent that it seems to function as a swath of silence, allowing the songs to burn like ciphers in the crackling air. And oh, the songs on All About the Bones. Chris Smither, after six decades of sharpening his knife as a songwriter, can at this point open damn near anything with a flick of his wrist. God and the Devil are opened here. Mortality is too. Politics, consciousness, renewal, family, vulnerability, surrender. Smither has sat with these topics like so many Zen koans, for so long, that every line is a pearl. The title track, “All About the Bones,” kicks the record off with “Consider your high station/ think about your fame. All of your creation depended on your frame.” Irony, wit, the double meaning of depended, each verse is a master class in songwriting. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/buffalo/dsp-shows-presents-chris-smither-live-in-the-9th-ward/200030109858659 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, workshops, live-music - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 9 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Buffalo - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: 341 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY, United States, New York 14202 - **lat**: 42.89368 - **long**: -78.87527 - **full address**: 341 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY, United States, New York 14202 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: DSP Shows presents Chris Smither live in The 9th Ward - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/95fa3736aa36fea9f0fee42859eb104b0b533f7d7135c12ce606bef23d6624f4-rimg-w1200-h955-dc1f170f-gmir?v=1779545578 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is DSP Shows presents Chris Smither live in The 9th Ward being held? - **A:** DSP Shows presents Chris Smither live in The 9th Ward takes place on Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Sat, 06 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 341 Delaware Ave, Buffalo, NY, United States, New York 14202. - **Q**: Who is organizing DSP Shows presents Chris Smither live in The 9th Ward? - **A:** DSP Shows presents Chris Smither live in The 9th Ward is organized by Babeville. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
