born, New Orleans raised Chris Smither has distilled his own signature
sound of acoustic blues and folk for over 40 years. He’s forged lifelong
friendships with many musicians, including Bonnie Raitt who recorded
his songs including "Love Me Like A Man." Chris’ twelfth studio record “Hundred Dollar Valentine” is heralded as a masterwork!
“Perfect album from a well travelled blues singer.” Five Stars! for Hundred Dollar Valentine - Mojo
“The folk-blues troubadour continues to offer a seamless, seductive
blend of deep thinking and elemental feel. His existential reflections
and keen observations are as free-flowing as his intricate guitar
picking and conversational singing.” - Phila. Inquirer
“[Smither] taps his foot to keep the rhythm, much like the late blues
legend John Lee Hooker. His finger-picked guitar lines are sleek,
unhurried and insistent. And then there’s the voice – equal parts gravel
and molasses, Smither’s singing sounds like a distillation of the folk
and blues heroes he grew up listening to in New Orleans.” - NPR
