Alfie Smith is a true modern day Blues Man, blending hard edged Rock & Roll, Gospel, Folk and Jazz with 'Pure Primal Blues' to create his own unique sound. He is adept at many instruments, including 7- string slide guitar, banjo, guitar, 12-string and lap steel.
Alfie’s musicianship has earned him endorsements with Composite Acoustics, Eastwood, Stonebridge and Johnson Resonators. First and foremost, Alfie is a singer with a deep passionate brooding baritone vocal style in the tradition of the old Blues shouters.
Brass and Steel is Alfie’s 5th CD, released in October 2007. It has 21 tracks and features Alfie Smith and his band, The Hard Cases, on six of the songs. The Hard Cases are: Bob Doidge on trumpet & bass and James Richards on drums. Alfie is at ease playing solo or with his band. This is Alfie’s 1st release with Busted Flat Records.
Alfie has been a featured performer at Mariposa, Festival of Friends, Home County, Eaglewood, Mill Race, Red Rock, Brampton, Niagara Blues Festival, Harbourfront Blues Festival, Octoberfolk, Orillia Spring Blues, Barriefolk and Orangeville Blues & Jazz festival.
Alfie was selected for official showcases at the O.C.F.F. and the 2005 Blues Summit II. His new CD, Brass & Steel, has just been nominated for Best Blues Recording and his slide and guitar playing has earned him a nomination for Guitarist of the year at the 2007 Hamilton Music Awards.
Last year, Flesh & Bone, his 4th CD, was nominated for Best Blues Album at the 2006 Hamilton Music Awards as well.
