FOLLOWING the release of his rapturously received new album Headlong, acclaimed singer and guitarist John Smith has announced an extensive forthcoming UK & Eire headline tour for 2017.

Produced by Sam Lakeman and featuring Cara Dillon, Headlong comes dedicated to the memory of John Renbourn, the innovative jazz folk artist who was a John Smith fan, and is the follow up to Great Lakes, John’s widely-applauded and Radio 2-supported release of 2013.

John has made several festival appearances this summer and brings his show to the Talking Heads on November 13.

Headlong is the fifth album in a hard-working, under-the-radar career that has earned Devon-born Smith a dedicated following and secured the respect and admiration of his peers and aficionados alike.
