Soloman Smith writes and performs memorable, thought-provoking songs laced with a wry intelligence. His brand of ‘folk music’ draws on an eclectic range of musical influences, including roots, blues, americana, jazz, soul, funk, and more. He is a natural entertainer with over 40 years of experience playing throughout the UK. His music is available through all major platforms and in physical format. A contemporary singer-songwriter with “a soulful voice and a heart of conscience.”

Soloman can often be seen live with Chris Newman, one of the UKs finest blues and ragtime guitarists (fRoots). And also with a full band, where they are joined by drummer and percussionist Malek Hyde-Smith, and stand-up bassist Edd Evans-Morley.

“Both my Dad and his before were trumpet players, so I followed in their footsteps, playing jazz and swing. My interest in the guitar came in my late teens. Taking it up helped me to explore another love, that of the written word. So I started out on that oft cathartic, frequently frustrating, and occasionally rewarding path trod by many a singer-songwriter! Now, in my mid-60s, I still love writing and performing. Music has given me some great memories and brought me into contact with some amazing people. And it continues to be a comfort and friend.”
