John Smith
Lutheran Church
Haddingestraat 23, 9711 KC GroningenWith a velvet voice, John Smith moves effortlessly between soul, folk, and roots. His voice and guitar playing form the heart of songs about loss, connection, and change.
His music breathes tranquility and melancholy, drawing its strength from simplicity. Before taking his own music across the globe, he played guitar in the bands of David Gray, Lisa Hannigan, and Lianne La Havas. Ben Howard—no slouch on the guitar himself—calls him “a magician.” On stage, he is at his best: intimate, sincere, and always spot on.
