Listening to Tom Smith will take you to other places and other times. Tom interweaves old songs and tales with contemporary and original songs and spoken word that are reminiscent of the very best of the old-school folk tradition, presented in an easy-going and engaging style. Accompanied by guitar, banjo, and other instruments, Tom will both tickle your funny bone and touch your heart, as he has done to others at concerts, folk festivals, coffee houses, and schools throughout the Northeast US.
