Mike Daley & Alfie Smith

Alfie Smith is a popular and crowd-pleasing fixture on the Ontario’s blues/folk/roots festivals and club circuit. He is a triple threat: a guitar virtuoso fluent on slide and vintage National and resonator instruments, an eloquent songwriter in the classic blues tradition, and a powerful singer with a voice to match his formidable physical presence. That deep voice sounds like it has been dredged from the depths of the muddy Mississippi River. It is rich and earthy, and capable of expressing tenderness, melancholy, joy, and righteous anger.
