The bluesman will be traveling around the country for the best part of a month.
One of the great finger style blues guitarists and songwriters currently on the circuit, Chris Smither is one of those artists that you probably have had a connection with in the past without knowing it. The artist has been playing music for decades and has written some seriously great tunes; Love Me Like A Man, made famous by fellow Bluesfester Bonnie Raitt one of the more popular.
Smither released his first record in 1970, but thanks largely to a bit of a struggle with the bottle it wasn't until 1997 that he started releasing records with any regulatory. He returns to Australia in just a couple of months to treat us to a whole swag of shows, a couple of festival daes which were announced last year and some club shows that have just been announced today.
