CHRIS SMITHER
Having distilled his own signature sound of blues and folk for over 50 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. A profound songwriter, Chris continues to draw deeply from the
blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers. From his early days as the New Orleans transplant in the Boston folk scene, through his wilderness years, to his reemergence in
the 1990s as one of America’s most distinctive acoustic performers, Chris Smither continues to hone his distinctive sound. He has always traveled his own road and stayed true to his musical vision. He may be best known for writing Love You Like A Man which Bonnie Raitt and, more recently, jazz great Diana Krall have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums, independent film, television, and commercials.
Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice and songwriting. The New York Times: “With a weary, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate.” Associated Press: Smither is an American original, a product of the musical melting pot, and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.
His latest release, ALL ABOUT THE BONES (2024 Signature Sounds) is a master follow up to MORE FROM THE LEVEE (2020 Signature Sounds) and the celebrated double-CD 50-year career retrospective STILL ON THE LEVEE that came out in 2014. It sports the unmistakable guitar sound Chris has made his own meshed with spare, brilliant new songs, delivered in a bone-wise, hard-won voice.
