Born in Essex, raised by the Devon seaside, and making his bones in the bars and clubs of Liverpool, John Smith has performed at festivals and concert halls around the world, released six studio albums and is currently hard at work on album #7, having barely paused for breath during his eighteen-year tenure as a full-time independent touring musician.

Steeped in the lineage of British Folk and American guitar music, Smith has evolved and pioneered a transatlantic blend of guitar techniques. His deeply romantic and vivid song-writing combined with his innovative guitar work having won him a loyal following.

His career began opening for Folk greats including John Martyn, Davy Graham and John Renbourn, who called him “the future of folk music.” He has since opened for Iron and Wine, Patty Griffin and Ben Howard, and guested with artists such as Jackson Browne, Martin Carthy, Roseanne Cash, Jarvis Cocker and Rodney Crowell.
