John Smith - Kick Out The Jams Session

John Smith is a guitar man from Devon, quietly becoming recognized as one of the most exciting voices on the British Folk scene. He has spent several years solidly on the road, touring with John Martyn and accompanying Davy Graham on his final tour. He has also supported John Renbourn, David Gray, Martin Carthy, Jools Holland, Tunng and Tinariwen and has shared the stage with Cara Dillon, James Yorkston, Martin Simpson and Ben Ottewell.

"Brilliant" **** - MOJO

"(Map Or Direction) finds his own unselfconsciously mythic songwriting bolstered by rippling guitar parts and a wounded-bear bray. Great things are ahead" - The Sunday Times

"His performance was an object lesson in how taste and imagination always outweigh mere musical virtuosity...unexpected and daring" - The Sunday Times

"John Smith continually swoons audiences with his own strain of nu-folk. It is only a matter of time before he is enormous." - NME
