With a deeply personal and intimate guitar style, Grammy Winner Doug Smith (2006 Fingerstyle Champion as well!) is an acoustic guitarist who combines the picking agility of Chet Atkins, the irreverence of Leo Kottke and the dexterity of Michael Hedges. His music is a flowing hybrid of assertive melodies, rhythmic certainty and rippling undercurrents. “His writing runs the gamut from peaceful and introspective to jaunting and exuberant.” ~ ~ Los Angeles Times |
