Gerard Smith is a songwriter/musician that hails from Detroit. One of his gifts is his ability to have his listener explore his workd of music by implementing various styles and creating a travelogue of sound that contains hints of Celtic, jazz, folk, and rock influences. Smith is a proficient mutli-intrumentalist, playing electric and acoustic guitar, as well as mandolin, bouzouki, bodhran, tin whistle and concertina.

Smith began building his repertoire on traditional Irish ballads and tunes. Since then, in addition to playing solo, he has also played with groups such as The Bowzies and Bill Grogan's Goat. His latest album, "Idylls of the King of the Road" shows of his traditional Irish folk routes as well as highlights the other genres that he has honed in on. He's an amazing talent and one that shouldn't be missed.
