Post Description

Americana, country-rock, acoustic, en nog wat zaken. 

Twee mannen met elk een gitaar en ze maken gewoon plezier. Muzikanten die muziek maken. Veel mooier wordt het niet. En ze komen uit Engeland en dat had ik niet verwacht. Aanrader!!! 

Smith and Brewer might conjure up thoughts of a firm of accountants or solicitors, but the musical duo of Ben Smith and Jimmy Brewer are as far removed from the stuffiness of those professions as can be. They create guitar-driven country-rock that’s dreamy and fiery, spontaneous and well-crafted. From beginning to end, Smith and Brewer exemplify originality and utilise their talents to make country music with a brain. They consistently deliver impressive performances; their harmonies, guitars, and percussion are all point perfect. This British pair is very reminiscent of the merging of two famous duos together, the Louvins and Everlys without sounding too much like either of the brother pairings. 

BEN SMITH and JIMMY BREWER met at an event organised by Joan Armatrading for the acts she had chosen to support her on her 2015 tour. Although they originally planned to just write together, they soon realised that their guitar styles and voices fitted together like the finest glove- think Simon & Garfunkel and the Everlys meet the Allman Brothers.

Since then, they have played together all over the UK, notably as the support act to 10cc and Ralph McTell on their 2018 U.K tours, at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention 2018, the 2018 Cambridge Folk Festival and the UK Americana Music Association Showcase in 2017 and 2019, as well as at AmericanaFest in Nashville in 2017.  They also contributed backing  vocals to Ralph McTell’s new album, which was produced by Tony Visconti.
