Raised in the garlic mines of South Philly and educated in the poutine farms around Montreal, Crawford Smith has been floating around the margins of the DIY scenes in three cities at this point. He is not an authentic cowboy, but he really really wishes he was sometimes. You could call his music country from a stranger in Flagstaff, Arizona.

Musician and Cook in ATX

A cook by vocation and a musician by avocation, Crawford tries to balance his twin passions fairly so neither feels neglected. He uses skills learned in fine dining restaurant kitchens to craft recipes for the home that combine strong technique with comforting flavors and inventive ingredient combinations. He also writes for the internet professionally, primarily at mashed.com. His music synthesizes his passion for the American Songbook of the mid 20th century with his love of old country music and his experience playing in experimental rock bands, creating a harmonious sound from disparate influences (he hopes). He is available to contact for live bookings and other opportunities here.
