"Superb folk songwriting meets skillful guitar blues"

It's as if the blues met modern poetry and got infused with Zen calm. Chris Smither takes the blues in a direction all his own, offering stoic, existential ruminations sung in a weathered blues moan and set to quietly virtuosic guitar. A New Orleans-to-Boston transplant, Smither has enjoyed a real meeting of the minds with Ark audiences in his shows here over the last few years--they've been equally extraordinary for audience and artist. Chris has a new album, "Leave the Light On," that features contributions from mandolinist Tim O'Brien and from the young alt-country group Ollabelle.
