Sky Smeed - Live @ the Liederkranz

Sky Smeed is a folk singer-songwriter whose songs balance humor, heart, and honesty. He was raised in a one-room schoolhouse outside Chanute, Kansas. At 16 his sister handed him a Takamine acoustic guitar for his birthday. That old guitar, along with a growing love for Bruce Springsteen’s The Ghost of Tom Joad and Son Volt’s Trace, sent him down a long road of writing songs and playing for anyone willing to listen.

 His music has been featured on NBC’s The Blacklist, airs regularly on Kansas Public Radio’s Trail Mix, and even serves as the theme song for the Lawrence Humane Society. Often compared to Gram Parsons and John Prine, and known for the easygoing stage presence of artists like Todd Snider and Paul Thorn, Sky brings a relaxed confidence to every performance. Whether he’s making an audience laugh, tear up, or sing along, his songs tend to stick around long after the final chord fades.
