Sonny Smith creates low-key, moving story-songs, much in the classic folk tradition but with a contemporary indie folk sensibility. On this release, his second, he’s joined by Bay Area players like Carrie Bradley (the Breeders), Ralph Carney (Tom Waits), Danny Heifetz (Dieselhed) and more. Sonny Smith was born in San Francisco, 1972.
When he was seventeen he moved to Colorado and
started playing blues piano in the mountain
town bars and clubs. After two years in the
small town of Gunnison, he moved to Denver and
played piano weekly at the Mercury Café
and Muddy’s Coffeehouse, playing four-
and five-hour sets till closing time, at 3 am.
Unable to stay in one place too long, he traveled
down to Central America, where he found himself
living on an organic farm in the jungles of
Costa Rica, just a few miles from the Caribbean
Sea.... |
