Chris Smither will be the guest artist at an Extended Play session at Alternate Root TV on Monday, August 11th at 7pm!

“Chris Smither carved a name in the guitar case shared by all traveling troubadours many years ago. After making that climb with successes such as the Bonnie Raitt hit with Chris’ “Love Me Like A Man” and “I Feel the Same”, his desire for the one-night-stand life died with friend and labelmate Towne Van Zandt, and inspirations such as Tim Hardin and Tim Buckley. He left the music business in the late 1970s to become a carpenter. ‘Still on the Levee’ revisits songs from Chris Smither’s fifty years penning tunes, and returns New Orleans-born songwriter to record at NOLA’s The Music Shed, where album guests such as Allen Toussaint could stop by. Other musical guests on ‘Still on the Levee’ are Loudon Wainwright III and Chris’ western Massachusetts neighbors including former members of Morphine, Kris Delmhorst and American Roots band Rusty Belle.”
