About Me

“Dan smith looks timid and small behind his oversized keyboard but with a flourish he banishes any doubts as to his abilities. He doesn’t just write songs, he composes vocal symphonies. Witty, pretty and devastatingly clever, he throws a centuries worth of British vocal wit into the pot and tops it off with the most incredible backing tracks self assembled from vocals, keyboard and maracas. The audience erupt with appreciation. Go see… be in awe.”- The Sandman
