David G. Smith, an artist who cares

David G Smith is a dedicated artist in every sense of the word. He splits his time between his home in Iowa with recording in Nashville and touring around North America. He is not only a great singer/songwriter but an outstanding guitarist utilizing his powerful slide guitar technique, his mighty finger picking, as well as his lead and rhythm guitar styles. His 2019 album Who Cares has been a constant on the charts with songs that range form raucous to sublime.

Recently KC Café Radio Music Director Kathy Forste had the pleasure of chatting with David from a secret location in Mexico. He shared a special preview of a song from his album Witness Trees which will be released in early June. He also performs one of his most successful songs from his last album Who Cares, the beautiful and touching, Mi Familia. They discussed the differences and challenges between recording his last two albums, as well as his touring plans for the coming year.
