Chris Smither
Steady touring and consistently brilliant albums have cemented Chris Smither's reputation as one of the finest acoustic musicians in the country. For the past four decades he has been communicating his special combination of soulful singing, original songs, and a powerful, blues-oriented guitar style to enthusiastic audiences worldwide.
Chris' use of traditional fingerpicking techniques, along with compelling vocals, give him a sound unlike any other contemporary stylist. Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Diana Krall and other top performers have recorded his songs, and Chris has made a dozen highly-acclaimed CDs, including "Happier Blue," which received the NAIRD award as Best Folk Recording of 1993. Since then he has released other ground-breaking albums, including "Up On The Lowdown," "Small Revelations," "Drive You Home Again," “Train Home” and his 2006 Signature Sound release, “Leave the Light On.”
