Young singer-songwriter Alex Smith grew up in Long Lake, in the heart of New York's Adirondack Park, and his music is inspired by the people of that area. His songs have a hearty, traditional folk sound paired with thoroughly modern lyrics. With a rich baritone voice and a deft guitar style, Alex sings of the way life really is today in the North Country, with all its beauty and tough challenges. In the last couple years he has touring nationally with his band, The Mountain Sound, been featured on Emmy-Award winning documentary "Songs To Keep" alongside Pete Seeger, Peter Yarrow, and Dan Berggren, and received extensive radio play nationwide. Tonight he brings us his brand new CD, Close to Home (Wepecket Island Records). "These songs of Alex Smith stretch the expectation of what fresh, new music can say about ancient hills, the communities they hold, and their stories." - Dan Berggren
