Join John Smith, our current Artist of the Month, in a coffee shop as he talks about the inspiration behind his new folk album Hummingbird which is released today on Commoner Records.

Hummingbird is Smith’s most impressive album yet. A work of mature and subtle beauty, celebrating songs that are still being sang and ones that will carry on being sang; this album should be heard by everyone.

John Smith announces new folk album Hummingbird, produced by Sam Lakeman and featuring Cara Dillon, John McCusker and Ben Nicholls. The album will be released on October 5th and accompanied by an extensive EU Tour. Listen to John performing Willy Moore, a song he first heard performed by Wizz Jones.

John Smith has shared the video for his new single, ‘Save My Life’, taken from his latest album Headlong. In line with sharing the video, he has been confirmed for a support slot on tour with Gomez throughout April and May.

Rob Bridge catches up with John Smith at Kenilworth Arts Festival. He talks about his new album ‘Headlong’ and his involvement in Martin Simpson’s new album ‘Trails and Tribulations’. He also manages to capture John performing ‘Save My Life’ live.

John Smith’s Headlong is a restrained and affecting album from a master craftsman. What it lacks in happy hooks, it makes up for in slow-burn – these are songs to enjoy as they unfold over many listens.
