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.
