Chris Smither brings an intimate solo performance to the Avenel Performing Arts Center, shaped by a lifetime of blues-infused songwriting and guitar work. Born in Miami during World War II and raised in New Orleans, he began on his mother’s ukulele with guidance from his Uncle Howard, quickly learning how a few chords could open up the songs he heard on the radio. Inspired early on by Lightnin’ Hopkins, he chased that compelling sound on his own guitar. In his twenties he left anthropology studies for Boston at the suggestion of Eric von Schmidt, settling into the vibrant coffeehouse scene and forming lasting bonds, including with Bonnie Raitt, who later recorded Love You Like a Man and I Feel the Same. From those New Orleans and Cambridge roots emerged his hallmark approach, a propulsive fingerpicking style influenced by Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin’ Hopkins, grounded by the steady rhythm of his tapping feet. His catalog stretches from early releases like I’m a Stranger, Too! and Don’t It Drag On on Poppy Records to Honeysuckle Dog and the spare It Ain’t Easy, and onward to his 20th release, All About the Bones, which pares the music to its essentials with a stark, minimalist feel. Widely noted by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, MOJO, and NPR, his journey traces a steady evolution from rising talent to respected icon. This evening focuses on his storytelling, nimble guitar lines, and the foot-driven groove that has defined his music for decades.
