Josh Smith is a virtuosic American guitarist, singer/songwriter, and producer who spins elements of blues, jazz, and rock into a dynamic sonic compound that has electrified audiences both at home and abroad for three decades. Smith has issued dozens of albums, including 2022's horn-stacked big band/blues-rock effort Bird of Passage, and has shared the stage with the likes of Mick Jagger, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Johnson, and Raphael Saddiq. 

Born in Connecticut and raised in Florida, Smith picked up the guitar at the age of six and was touring by his early teens. He spent eight years as the lead guitarist for the regional blues band The Rhino Cats before relocating to Los Angeles in his early twenties. It was there that he became a highly sought-after sideman and session musician, recording and performing with a host of prominent artists like Joe Bonamassa, Eric Johnson, Andy Timmons, and Kirk Fletcher. In addition to his work with others, Smith has released a string of acclaimed solo recordings, including Inception (2009), I'm Gonna Be Ready (2011), Don't Give Up (2012), Over Your Head (2015), Still (2017), Burn to Grow (2018), and Bird of Passage (2022). As a producer, working out of his Flat V Studios in Los Angeles, Smith has helmed productions for a wide array of artists, such as Reese Wynans, Eric Gales, Joanna Conner, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Andy Timmons, Jimmy Hall, Larry Mccray, Artur Menezes, Seth Rosenbloom, and Jamey Arent. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
