Fri 21 Mar. Friday, March 21, 2008, 8:00 p.m. “Smither taps his foot to keep the rhythm, much like the late blues legend John Lee Hooker. His finger-picked guitar lines are sleek, unhurried and insistent. And then there's the voice – equal parts gravel and molasses, Smither's singing sounds like a distillation of the folk and blues heroes he grew up listening to in New Orleans.” ~ NPR. 415 South Street, Waltham, 02454.
