John Smith is a Folk guitarist and singer from Devon who has been touring the UK non-stop for the past three years. He deals with the shadier subjects, songs about death and doomed relationships and bloody murder, and he whacks the body of his guitar and detunes it mid-song. John has two self-released albums, 'The Fox and The Monk' (2006) and 'Live At The Roundhouse' (2007). and a limited release 7" single 'The Bird and The Worm' (2007, Static Caravan).
