The John Adam Smith ExperiEnce

This Saturday, Breckenridge Distillery will be bringing the John Adam Smith Experience to its stage at 7 p.m. John Adam Smith first picked up the guitar when he was 10 years old.

By 15, he was performing original songs in front of live audiences in his hometown of Missoula, Montana. Smith went on to study traditional West African music, which heavily influenced his guitar style and songwriting in his early 20s.

His roots-driven music blends elements of blues, funk, rock, folk and reggae. He weaves intricate acoustic arrangements, punctuated by open tunings and the captivating sound of his Weissenborn acoustic lap steel guitar. For more information, visit BreckenridgeDistillery.com.
