Beyond recording and touring extensively throughout North America & Europe, Smith also operates a recording studio in Sarasota, Florida, producing albums for other artists. He’s been lauded by *Living Blues Magazine* and frequently appears at major blues festivals demonstrating his significant contribution to contemporary blues music.
