Jonah Smith is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter. His song, “When We Say Goodnight,” was recorded by Bonnie Raitt on her recent Grammy winning album, “Just Like That.” Smith (keys, guitar, vocals) will perform at the Towne Crier with band members Andy Stack (guitars, vocals), Manuel Quintana (drums) and Brandon Morrison (bass).
Smith’s music ranges over his twenty-year career from soul to folk and Americana and he moves effortlessly on stage between keyboards and guitar. His vocals bring to mind Steve Winwood and even Ray Charles but his songs are crafted stories with lineage traced back to his love of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon.
Smith’s songs are in rotation on radio stations around the country. He has had songs featured on NBC, ABC, FX, and the USA network including Good Morning America and America’s Got Talent where he was a semi-finalist on Season 9.
