Jonah Smith

Jonah Smith is a critically acclaimed singer-songwriter that is based in New York. He pulls from the deep well of American blues and many of its offshoots, including soul, country, and folk. Smith is essentially a songwriter with the voice of a soul singer. He is an award-winning and critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter.
He has shared the stage with other artists like Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, and Little Feat. He has released several records including the eponymous debut on Relix Records, Lights On, Little Known Cure, In The Kitchen, Easy Prey, and Stay Close.


At its best, the singer Jonah Smith’s amalgam of American Roots and soul evokes The Band (Garth Hudson’s accordion on an early record didn’t hurt).

Mr. Smith’s folk songs are equally well suited to downtown lounges and rural front porches.

Easygoing, soulful music, which calls to mind J.J. Cale, early Van Morrison and Ben Harper
