Part front-porch drawl, part freight-train muscle, Curreri's songs and inspired performances have wowed audiences across America. 'A country blues, folk songwriter who knows how to embroider beautiful melody from a six-string while singing songs that would send the bulk of American songwriters busking into the woods'. (Bruce Willey)

John Smith (1) -

John Smith's mesmerising percussive guitar and story telling has been winning fans everywhere. Whether it be playing the guitar lap-style like a drum, detuning the strings mid-chorus or just straight-forward rumbling fingerstyle, the Devon man's playing has prompted both hushed appreciation and riotous standing ovations.
