Tom Smith – Coffeehouse Feature with Mini Open Mic

“Tom Smith is a songwriter’s songwriter, a story teller through stage banter and song with a genuine sincerity and love for what he does that shines through in every lyric, chord and spoken word. His instrumental style and delivery are spot on and Tom always leaves the crowd better for being there.” – Tom Bianchi, Musician and venue host, The Burren, Somerville, MA.  Tom Smith’s songs are in turns humorous, touching, thought provoking, and inspiring. Deeply rooted in the old-school folk tradition, his timeless stories are told with a voice that is honest and sincere.  Tom grew up in rural Pennsylvania in a family where music was part of the fabric of everyday life. As a young man living at the epicenter of the folk-quake that was Cambridge, MA in the 1960’s, Tom solidified what has become a life-long love of self-made music. In the words of noted WUMB-FM Boston radio DJ, Dave Palmater … “There are very few songwriters working today that I would call folksingers, but I would call Tom Smith a true folksinger.”
