Smith’s lyrical work is just as impressive from track to track, staying true to folk style storytelling in music while keeping it sounding fresh and enjoyable. The elements of ld and new combine so well that fans of country and bluegrass will find it an easily addictive sound, while the small pop seasoning gives it a kick for a more modern taste. The two best songs on the release are the title-track and the conclusion, “Hold On To Moments.” Both present themselves with the most charisma and personality derived in the songwriting, and possess the vital pieces, including mandolin, fiddle, banjo, slide/resonator and acoustic guitar, in the most subtle of ways.

Autumn Greetings from Grant Maloy Smith

Grant Maloy Smith Autumn Greetings from Grant I've been real lucky in the last 6 months to be able to perform at SXSW in Austin, the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, and at a wide variety of venues in Hollywood, New York, London, and Glastonbury. Whew! My horse is tired from all that running around, and ready for a break. But he's going to have to wait, because I have a LOT of shows planned for November, in NY, Nashville, Rhode Island, Arizona and Los Angeles! I hope I can meet you somewhere and play you some music. Speaking of Dust Bowl, I am very excited to announce that this album will be released in June 2016 on Roven Records. They distribute to stores, catalogs, and of course the on-line stores like iTunes, Amazon, et al. I will be doing some album release shows around the USA. If you can't catch me live, you can see some recent performances on my youtube channel, which is at www.youtube.com/americanrootsgrant If you're on Twitter, please connect with me twitter.com/grantmaloysmith And on facebook you can find me at www.facebook.com/americanrootsgrant I started a new thing on my website where anyone who registers as a fan will get something autographed in the mail. Could be a picture, a CD, or whatever! I have a very active imagination....
