"There’s something wonderfully unforced about both his playing and his vocals...in the weight of experience that he brings to his songs. It’s rare these days to find an audience so wrapped up in a performance as this one.”
- The Independent
At a time when we are all missing the communion of live music, John Smith has released Live In Chester, a Live Album commemorating the world tour of his Hummingbird Album. John released Hummingbird on his own imprint, Commoner Records, in March 2019.
The traditional songs on the album originate as far back as the 15th Century, and yet the record is surprisingly current, revealing the affirming consistency of the human condition. In the course of 10 songs, John explores timeless themes of longing, love, loss, horror, tragedy, grief, resilience, desire, devotion, heroism, romance, dignity, and ultimate triumph.
