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.

David G Smith Puts the Artist Hat Back On

By: Maria Smith

Singer-songwriter David G Smith has music in his blood. He and all of his siblings started playing piano in second grade due to their parent’s wishes, but the singers love for music only grew from there. He taught himself guitar, which brought out a love for writing and singing his own music. His newest album First Love is very popular on KC Cafe radio for good reason. His music brings forth emotions that you didn’t know you needed to feel.

While Smith calls Bluegrass, Iowa home, he finds himself spending a good chunk of his time in Nashville. That is of course when he isn’t out touring, something he has been doing more and more over the last few years.

Recently, KC Cafe Radio Music Director Kathy Forste caught up with Smith via Skype. They chat about songwriter heroes vs. guitar heroes, co-writing and more.
