John Smith is the guitar man from Devon who has
quietly become one of the most exciting voices on the new British folk scene.
Touring relentlessly as headliner and support act, he has opened shows for John
Martyn, Iron and Wine, Seth Lakeman, Davy Graham, John Renbourn, David Gray,
Cara Dillon, James Yorkston, Martin Carthy, Jools Holland, Tinariwen, Martin
Simpson, Gil Scott-Heron and Chris Thile. John is a regular on the UK festival
circuit, having played shows at Glastonbury, Green Man, Cambridge and many
others. In this way, he has found a loyal following in the UK and Ireland,
Europe, Japan, Mexico, the USA and Canada. Slow but sure.
John plays the steel-string acoustic guitar.
Sometimes with a slide, sometimes on his lap, sometimes de-tuning the thing
mid-song. He was named Young Acoustic Guitarist Of The Year in 2003 and hasn’t
stopped to look back, unless it’s to pick up a banjo. His playing combined with
his honey-on-gravel vocals have brought crowds to pin-drop silence and
rapturous applause.
