Damon Smith

From explosive New Orleans piano grooves to soul-stirring original songs, Damon Smith's performances are full of heart, humour, and world-class musicianship. With Phil Collings (drums) and Trent McKenzie (bass), his music draws on influences from Donny Hathaway to Nina Simone. Damon’s recent album, A Fresh Harvest From Old Seeds, topped the Australian Blues & Roots charts and won a Music Victoria Award, leading to festival appearances across the country. Unforgettable, unfiltered, and unmistakably his own voice in Australian music.
