FRED SMITH'S TRAGICOMICAL MUSICAL SAFARI THROUGH THE USA, A TROUBLED COUNTRY JUST SOUTH OF CANADA
With America in the midst of ‘interesting times’, Fred Smith and band will run a musical safari through the ‘United States of Anxiety’ to help make sense of it all.
Smith is one of the few Australian folk singers with both a US merchant mariner's license and a US Marine Corps medal! He spent four years working American cruise ships, touring the interstate highway system, and living with American soldiers in southern Afghanistan.
The show combines songs from his US travelogue albums Texas and Great with yarns and observations to offer a wry take on American politics, history and pathologies.
This is Fred Smith doing what he does best: weaving song, story, images and comedy to convey a sympathetic account of a complex society - a nourishing meal for those who like a bit of protein their music.
With
David Hyams on guitar
Josh Gray on bass
Reuben Kooperman on drums
