Chris Smither presented by Woody Hawley Concert Series

Songwriter. Guitarist. Bluesman. Interpreter. Touring musician. For over 50 years. Chris Smither is an American original. It’s his effortless, rippling guitar (“one-third John Hurt, one-third Lightnin’ Hopkins and one-third me”) that is distinctly Smither and his particular genius to reimagine the acoustic blues as a vehicle for rich, philosophically complex lyrics. His songs offer a commentary on the human condition that only Chris Smither can put pen to. These songs pull from deep inthe soul that make for a kind of reflection, a timeless introspecton.
