Genre bending-blending singer/songwriter/guitarist Cyd Smith is hard to pin down. With years of performing in the Nortwest in bands covering everything from bluegrass to swing to rock 'n roll, she covers a remarkable breadth of stylistic ground, Her deft guitar playing interweaves seamlessly with her soulful, sensuous vocals. She can deliver a self-penned song with depth and charm or give new meaning to a vintage swing standard. Or perhaps she'll get your feet tapping to a ripping guitar arrangement of an old piano rag or heat up the room with a classic blues ballad.
Julian Smedley’s exquisite violin and tasty solos round out the evening's musical offerings. Julian has had a career as a violinist and vocalist in England, the Bay Area and now the Northwest. He has played and recorded with many bands and currently works as a record producer, arranger session musician and performer. Recent projects include ‘Les Cygnes’- a 13 song original recording co-written with The Palace Thieves (band mate Greg Scott features prominently)!
"Great writing"-Laurie Lewis (west coast bluegrass titan)
