Bright Series: John Smith

The warm lived-in vocals, virtuosic guitar skills, and poignant lyricism of celebrated British folk singer-songwriter John Smith, earned him “the future of folk music” designation by Pentangle’s John Renbourn. His most recent project, The Living Kind is his masterpiece in American atmospherics: a true musician’s record, produced by Joe Henry, the man responsible for some of the subtlest Americana of recent times.

With a career spanning over two decades, Smith has garnered critical acclaim for his ability to weave intimate tales of love, loss, and human connection into captivating melodies. Drawing inspiration from both traditional folk music and contemporary influences, his music transcends genres, resonating with listeners around the globe. With a reputation for spellbinding live performances and a discography that showcases his evolution as an artist, John Smith continues to captivate audiences with his timeless and deeply resonant music.
