About this show

Alberta Rose Theatre is proud to present the legendary Chris Smither. Born in Miami, during World War II, Chris Smither grew up in New Orleans where he first started playing music as a child. The son of a Tulane University professor, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mothers ukulele. Uncle Howard, Smither says, showed me that if you knew three chords, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords, you could pretty much rule the world. With that bit of knowledge under his belt, he was hooked. Id loved acoustic music specifically the blues ever since I first heard Lightnin Hopkins Blues In My Bottle album.
