One day in the late 1960s, a young songwriter was encouraged to go to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and play in the music clubs there. That was Chris Smither. Celebrating his newest record and over fifty years of touring, Smither continues as a leading songwriter drawing deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets, and philosophers. He is still one of America’s most distinctive acoustic performers. One evening, back in the early 1990s, a young songwriter opened up for Chris. That was Peter Mulvey – as he self-describes, “road-dog, raconteur and almost-poet.” Since that evening, a deep friendship and close musical comradery have flourished. Hear them both in concert.
