Chris Smither (born November 11, 1944, Miami, Florida) is an American folk/blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter.

His music draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and philosophers.

Smither's family lived in Ecuador and the Rio Grande Valley in Texas before settling in New Orleans when Chris was three years old.

He grew up in New Orleans, and lived briefly in Paris where he and his twin sister attended French public school.

It was in Paris that Smither got his first guitar - one his father brought him from Spain.

Shortly after, the family returned to New Orleans where his father taught at Tulane University.
