Having landed back home after their countrywide tours supporting Ralph McTell and 10cc, Smith & Brewer are bringing their brilliant live show to Cambridge. If you haven’t seen them play before, you’re in for a real treat – first class musicianship, beautiful harmonies, rip-roaring guitar solos, and a stage presence that will hold you spellbound! They are bringing their new full-band show to Cambridge for the first time.

Support from Ags Connolly, a traditional country singer-songwriter from Oxfordshire, and Cambridge’s favourite, Max Bianco.

It promises to be an awesome night. Early booking recommended.

Smith & Brewer
Ben Smith and Jimmy Brewer met at an event organised by Joan Armatrading for the acts she had chosen to support her on her 2015 tour. Although they originally planned to just write together, they soon realised
that their playing styles and voices complemented each other and they started playing together after their
inaugural gig supporting Joan Armatrading in front of a thousand-strong crowd.

Since then, they have played together all over the UK, notably at Fairport’s Cropredy Convention 2018, the
2018 Cambridge Folk Festival and the UK Americana Awards in 2017, as well as at the AmericanaFest in
Nashville in 2017 where they were invited to showcase.

Smith and Brewer supported both 10cc and Ralph McTell on their Autumn 2018 tours of the UK, and they
also recently sang backing vocals on Ralph’s upcoming album, produced by Tony Visconti.

They have recently finished work on their debut album, Another Shade Of Smith And Brewer, which was
recorded at Coltsfoot, a friend’s barn which they converted into a studio for a week. This allowed them to
record together live both as an acoustic duo and a full band. The tracks were mixed by Ben and Jimmy and
mastered by David Mitson (noted for his work with Michael Jackson, Willie Nelson and more).
