MICHAEL SMITH

 

Performance Date

Friday, May 25

Michael Smith’s songs have been recorded by dozens of artists in many genres. Sing Out! Magazine calls Michael “one of the few undisputed geniuses among singer-songwriters today,” (Rich Warren). He has been writing for over three decades. The Dutchman, Spoon River, and Zippy are just of few of his better-known songs.
 

"Hearing the songs of Michael Smith in this day and age is like reading an anthology of short stories by Hemingway after decades of only comic books. It's a realization that songs can hold a whole lot more than they're usually expected to hold, that they can possess a genuine sense of place as evocative and magical as the finest literature...

 

His songs are so resonant in layers of myth and magic, and so perfectly enhanced by the genuine beauty of his melodies and instrumental arrangements, that you can listen to a single one over and over for an afternoon and feel satisfied. "
