Fred Smith and his band present a musical exploration of contemporary America through song and storytelling. With a US merchant mariner’s licence, a US Marine Corps medal, time on American cruise ships, cross-country road trips and service alongside US soldiers in Afghanistan, Smith brings an extraordinary depth of personal experience to the stage.
Drawing from his US-focused albums Texas and Great, the performance combines music with narrative and commentary on American political, historical and cultural themes — offering a nuanced portrait of a complicated nation that is insightful, engaging and quietly compelling.
