"Chris Snither is a genuine master singer/guitar player/songwriter who is at the top of his game right now. In fact, he just keeps getting better and better! He makes us all know that age can be embraced, there is no need to fear the passing of time, as art is ageless, and mastery does not give a damn about numbers on a calendar. Chris Smither is playing Paris? BE THERE!"
Mary Gauthier

"I've never had the pleasure of meeting Mr Smither, but he has, over the years, been a constant companion. His records have always been there for me; funny, consoling, strange, soulful, unexpected.
Thanks for being a true friend."
Jeb Loy Nichols

"Chris Smither has been all around the world and spoke to everybody twice.
He's been a much valued songwriter, a fine Brownie McGhee styled guitarist, a singer in several languages,
a worthy member of the blues and Americana communities, a successful author of published prose,
and a damn fine man to know. His music has stood the test of time
and his reputation is growing like the most precious wildflower."
