Joshua Smith at Phantom Creek

Hailing from the small coastal community of West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, Joshua Smith comes from a long line of songwriters and musicians. His music feels lived-in and genuine – songs that don’t ask much of the listener except to feel something. Blending folk, soul, and roots influences, Smith writes with a rare honesty, weaving together heartbreak, humour, and the quiet poetry of everyday life. In his songs, Josua invites listeners into his world—into the way he sees and processes life on this wild planet.
