Chris Smither w/ special guests Rusty Belle

Saturday September 19, 2015 @ 8:00 PM

Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for 50 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. His new CD, Still On the Levee, is a career-spanning retrospective double CD. Recorded in New Orleans with studio-mates, The Motivators, Still On the Levee plays host to special guests including Allen Toussaint and Loudon Wainwright III. The record highlights the vast catalog of an American music master. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers. 'Link Of Chain', a tribute album of Chris Smither originals with stellar versions by Dave Alvin, Tim O'Brien, Bonnie Raitt, Josh Ritter, Loudon Wainwright III, Jorma Kaukonen, Eilen Jewell and others is now available from Signature Sounds.

Rusty Belle ailing from New England, Zak Trojano and siblings Matt and Kate Lorenz deliver strong three part harmonies, a rock solid junk-percussion section, grimy guitars and great songwriting. They've been doing it for years and you can hear it in their playing.

"A group like Rusty Belle is difficult to pigeonhole. The band’s “roots-rock/junk-folk”—equal parts homespun country, wistful folk, and sweaty garage punk—wastes no time stripping a song down to its bare-naked bones." - UTNE Reader
