John Smith

Hailing from Devon, England, John Smith is an unsigned guitarist and singer who has toured with the likes of Iron and Wine, Jools Holland and Lisa Hannigan. He has self-released four albums: The Fox and the Monk (2006), Map or Direction (2009), Eavesdropping (2011) and Great Lakes (2013). In his newest album, Smith pays homage to his youth in a fishing village by mixing plenty of water imagery into his romantic ballads, such as in the songs "Salty and Sweet" and "Perfect Storm." Already a regular on the UK festival circuit, John Smith has brought his smooth folk and unique steel-string electric guitar style across the pond to Canada and the US.
