Bio

Crooner and tap-dancer in the 50s, folk-singer in the 60s in NY, folk rocker in the 70s and 80s in Vancouver, a short stint as a country artist in Florida in the early 90s,then in the last visit to NJ the blues began to be the driving force in his music.

“Now That Truth Was Gone- A folk blues troubadour, a real story teller, an inveterate rolling stone, this is Smiling Jack Smith. Most of you will wonder what brings a Canadian/American man to Spain, but he's the only one who knows. Gifted with a fine sensitivity Jack brings us his latest work recorded in the spirit of a wandering poet, who at the same time knows exactly where his life is going. Jack knows the way, he sings about life, love, everyday problems, without the slightest worry about what people will think of him, he always does what he wants to do and knows how to get it done because, as Schopenhauer said, "Half of our worries and anxieties arise by concern for the opinion of the others" Definitely this is not the case with our blues poet. For this album Smith has the valuable collaboration of the excellent guitar player David Gwynn, who rounds out the whole work to make it both effective and spontaneous. Ten well built songs deeply based on blues, neofolk and Americana.”
