Some words about Chris Smither:

"Chris Smither delivers one of the most riveting live shows you're ever likely to see. His growling vocals, badass finger picking and uniformly brilliant songs are here in spades." - Rollingstone.com

"The masterful combination of pure folk songwriting and intricate guitar blues are tangible signs of the singer-songwriter's vigorous genius. A megawatt solo performer." - Wired

"Chris Smither, whose grand voice, stomping foot, blues-drenched guitar, and abiding interest in the problem of evil packed more power than the bands of (Tracy) Chapman and (John) Martyn combined." - New York Times

"(Smither)'s one of the finest interpreters of classic blues and contemporary roots music on the scene today." - Washington Post
