British-born guitarist Richard Smith is swinging through Vermont on his current tour, playing the Champlain Valley Union High School Theater this Friday night.
Smith began his career as a child prodigy, joining his idol, guitar legend Chet Atkins, on stage when he was only 11 years old. Atkins was quoted as saying that Smith "can play anything I know, only better."
Channeling fingerstyle guitar greats such as Atkins and Merle Travis, Smith has a song catalog full of bluegrass, ragtime, jazz, pop and even John Philip Sousa marches. He hits the stage for an intimate solo set on Friday, September 30, at 7:30 p.m. at the Champlain Valley Union High School Theater in Hinesburg. Tickets ($20) are available at sevendaystickets.com.
