Johnsmith

Johnsmith was born in Dewitt, Iowa, where he shared his small town mid-western life (and house) with his two parents, and nine brothers and sisters. The experience of growing up in such a large family nurtured within him a keen awareness of the value of community and, at the same time, the absolute necessity of solitude. For the past twenty years he has been sharing his music with audiences across the United States and abroad. Driving some 50,000 miles to play over 150 dates each year, he is a favorite at coffee houses, colleges, and house concerts. In addition to being a past winner of the Kerrville Folk Festival’s New Folk award, he has released four CDs to rave reviews from trade publications such as Dirty Linen, Performing Songwriter, and Sing Out! magazines.
