FRED SMITH'S TRAGICOMICAL MUSICAL SAFARI THROUGH THE USA, A TROUBLED COUNTRY JUST SOUTH OF CANADA
With America in the midst of ‘interesting times’, Fred Smith and band take audiences on a musical safari through the United States of Anxiety to help make sense of it all. One of the few Australian folk singers with both a US merchant mariner's license and a US Marine Corps medal, Smith spent four years working American cruise ships, touring the interstate highways, and living with soldiers in Afghanistan. Drawing on his travelogue albums Texas and Great, the show blends songs, stories, and sharp observations to deliver a wry take on American politics, history, and quirks. Expect Fred doing what he does best: weaving music, yarns, images, and humour into a sympathetic account of a complex society—a nourishing feast for those who like substance with their song. Featuring David Hyams, Josh Gray and Reuben Kooperman.
