The Friends
This unexpected journey began with my first-ever solo performance in 2022 — a literal dare to myself which ended up
being a profoundly emotional and special experience. I was absolutely terrified to perform solo for the first time (I've
always felt most comfortable in a collaborative/harmony role), so for some moral support I asked friends from various past
bands to back me up on a few tunes. This Frankensteined lineup had never performed together until that day. Thankfully
the chemistry worked, ultimately making a surreal experience immensely gratifying. After that show, I wanted to somehow preserve that unique moment in time, and thus the idea for this album was born. I am humbled to have such talented
friends who were willing to contribute their time and talent to the cause of helping me sound better than I am. To Andy,
Anna, Brian, Linda, Marty, Tom and Wolf, I humbly thank you for your priceless time, musicianship and spirit.

BIO
I've been Christopher Smith my whole life. For much of that time, I have been a Colorado-based musician, songwriter and producer. In the past 30+ years, I have played countless venues throughout the Front Range, toured the country, as well as the
UK, as a member of several successful Colorado bands. For reasons I still can't quite comprehend, I decided to venture into the solo arena—an equally exhilirating and terrifying notion. My debut album "Christopher Smith and Friends" was recorded and released in 2023, and features various past bandmates Frankensteined together to create something altogether new. For the
first time in my life I went off-script and am doing my best to roll with the current. Let's roll!
