Fred Smith’s America! is a tragicomical musical safari through the “United States of Anxiety,” blending song, story and satire to make sense of a nation in turmoil.
One of the few Australian songwriters with both a US Marine Corps medal and a merchant mariner’s license, Smith spent years living and touring in America before releasing Texas, a critically acclaimed song cycle capturing a divided, hungover country. He now presents songs from Texas and his more recent travelogue Great, interspersed with yarns and observations, accompanied by an all‑star band. Expect wit, insight and music with real substance.
