About

Don Banjo Smith, Glen Spey, NY

I am an accoustic folk musician specializing in Celtic and Maritime music(many songs I do are in both categories!).  I tell stories, sing and play the banjo, concertina, guitar, tin whistle and mandolin.  My Banjo's and guitar are pre-1930, my concertina's are pre-1900.  I sing many songs about the sea, (fishing, whaling, sailing, sinking!, Pirating and privateering, etc) in addition to many Irish and Scottish songs, and all their varied topics, and many, if not most, are audience participation!!   I have many years of experience, and many festival credits, try me, you'll like me!  1-4 pieces.
