About this concert
After years in Afghanistan, Fred Smith returns with something completely different: reports from the domestic frontier.
This concert is a collection of love songs for middle-aged people! These have been described as “a stunning cycle of deeply personal songs about marriage, babies, love, tolerance, decency and the complexity of modern life…sublime study in tenderness and vulnerability”. BRUCE ELDER (SMH).
Backed by some of Australia’s most sensitive musicians, Fred Smith brings his trademark subtlety, wit and observation to bear on the quiet struggles in our little lives: the homes we live in, the children we raise, and marriages we hope to sustain.
The show draws on songs from Fred’s more personal recordings as well as his new album 'Look'.

Fred Smith Biography
Over the last 20 years Fred Smith has emerged as one of Australia’s most interesting songwriters. He has been all over the joint: working on peace keeping missions in Afghanistan and the South Pacific, touring in America and travelling the Australian festival circuit.
He is the subject of the film Bougainville Sky about his time in the war-torn islands of the South Pacific where his work as a musician and radio broadcaster contributed to the success of the world’s first unarmed peace keeping force.
Fred was the first Australian diplomat to be posted to Uruzgan in July of 2009. He wrote a powerful collection of songs about the realities of life for soldiers and civilians in this difficult war, recently released on a high acclaimed album called Dust of Uruzgan.
He has put out about 10 CDs, two of which won National Film and Sound Archives Awards. Some of these were joint efforts with Liz Frencham and the Spooky Men's Chorale.
