Biography

Michael Smith is a Toronto based Autoharpsinger/songwriter who incorporates elements of the blues in his original autoharp based "country/Folk/Blues fusion" compositions. His sound is stripped to the bone, simple elegant songs that speak to the heart and to the head. Michaels vocals are raw-angelic combined with lyrics that are well crafted, and impassioned. His stage show is low key yet emotinally energized and designed for a listening audience who love to be engaged with their music.
