Hear an FUV Live session with Chris Smither tonight at 9.

A profound songwriter, Chris Smither draws deeply from a combination of Blues, American Folk music, modern poets, and philosophers. With his signature gravelly voice and dazzling guitar work, he has frequented festivals, coffeehouses, and club circuits around the U.S., Canada, and Europe since the 1960s and isn't showing any signs of slowing down. This year, Smither marked his 50th year of music-making, and to celebrate, the New Orleans-raised songwriter recently released, Still on the Levee, a double album of re-recordings of his most signature and classic songs. Chris Smither recently stopped by Studio A to talk about and play us some of his music. We’ll hear that conversation and performance during this episode of FUV Live.
