“…a voice that imagination created” – Mike Alexander
Brave Caitlin Smith’s Imaginary Band will be touring with Caitlin Smith (piano and vocals), Mark Laurent (guitar), and Steve Cournane (percussion and cymbals) - a dream team performing jazz and folk music.
Caitlin Smith's latest album ‘You Have Reached Your Destination’ creates a multisensory universe unto itself - Braille and a tactile labyrinth within the cover art, poetry, and footsteps recorded between 14 originals. A mesmerizing, prolific, and passionate performer, originals are sandwiched between the tastiest covers, especially the repertoire of her spiritual parents Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.
