CHRIS SMITHER - ALL ABOUT THE BONES TOUR

Saturday 18th October | 8pm (Doors 7.30pm) | Tickets: ​£23.50 full, £21 concession

​“Smither is an American original – a product of the musical melting pot and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.” —Associated Press.

Chris Smither's 20th album release, All About the Bones is as elemental as the inky black shadows cast by a shockingly bright moon. Featuring eight brand new Chris Smither songs and Smither renditions of Eliza Gilkyson’s “Calm Before the Storm” and also Tom Petty’s “Time to Move On”, the listener is welcomed into some gothic mansion on an imaginary New Orleans street, and there in the lamplit parlour confronts the band, a minimalist skeleton crew.

Smither’s inimitable propulsive guitar and rumbling baritone are joined seamlessly to producer David Goodrich’s carpetbag of instruments, Zak Trojano’s rock-steady, primal drumming, BettySoo’s diaphanous harmony vocals, and the flat, mournful flood of Jazz legend Chris Cheek’s saxophone. All About the Bones has a feel that is somehow baroque and austere at once.
