“Fred Smith is simply the best folk/country musician working in this country…beyond writing some of the finest songs about Australians at war, he has created a repertoire that is wry, literate, witty, powerfully emotional and insightful.”
Bruce Elder, SMH

Fred Smith blends tunes you can whistle with stories you will remember.  His songs are subtle, wry and perceptive. He is a favourite on the Australian festival circuit, loved for his worldly wit, gift for story and melody, and sublime collaborations with Liz Frencham and The Spooky Men's Chorale.

Fred was recently awarded an Order of Australia for his services to music and foreign affairs. He was the subject of an ABC TV documentary about his work as a diplomat in Afghanistan and conflict zones in the South Pacific. He has published two books, The Dust of Uruzgan and The Sparrows of Kabul documenting his experiences in Afghanistan.

Fred will be playing songs from his rich back catalogue. You will be moved and entertained by the songs and stories of Australia’s finest contemporary balladeer.

“Fred Smith is one of this country's most literate, humorous, intelligent and empathic songwriters.” 
Warwick McFadyen, the Sunday Age

“...one of our finest lyricists...he shows true mastery of crafting melodies and marrying them to the words without recourse to a shotgun. Add his natural wit, keen powers of observation, unassuming delivery and understated accompaniment and he effortlessly draws you into the world of each of these character-driven songs.”
John Shand, Sydney Morning Herald

“Fred Smith is an Australian national treasure. Diplomat, philosopher, poet and raconteur, his songs reverberate with the prophetic voice of humanity.” Peter Wilkins, Canberra Critics Circle
