"Gravedigger's Boy is one of the most original collections of songs that you'll ever find on any album." Fred Nolan, DJ at WCJU
Christopher Smith is one of the best "under the radar" songwriters in the country. His acoustic based music is grounded in folk roots with american and celtic influences. His musicianship always serves the song, and his voice is sweet and engaging. What sets Smith apart is the sheer strength of his material. He holds a listener's attention for song after song because he writes stories that spring from interesting ideas.
Christopher has been playing music in the San Francisco Bay area for over 25 years, where he lives with his wife and two sons. He credits his day job (the world’s greatest kindergarten teacher) for helping to maintain his playful, creative energy. Besides writing great songs, he also makes killer playdough.
He has won the performing songwriter competition at the Sisters Folk Festival in Oregon, and his song "Gravedigger's Boy" won Best Song at West Virgina's NewSong Festival.

Christopher Smith writes songs that I wish I could write. He tells stories of depth, with a sardonic twist that cannot be matched. No matter where, or how many times I hear his music, I am always moved by the depth, brought to tears in laughter by the humor, and given a gift that I didn't expect. There's nothing better than listening to his music.
