Lehmann B Smith has written many hundreds of songs in search of a good one. Some of these attempts have made their way onto six diverse and critically acclaimed albums, from ‘The Big Dry’ (2009) to ‘Thank God For My Body’ (2015).

Finding his greatest success as a sideman for Totally Mild and Kes Band, Smith has often been described as a musician’s musician, an undiscovered talent.

A lake in Tasmania is named after him that is deep and cold. It is unclear whether these qualities were taken into consideration when naming the body of water in his honour.

“His compositions are elegant gossamer tapestries that engage and inspire - The back-porch pathos is stunningly interwoven with haunting reverie and a morbid curiosity — about the physical nature of the human body and all it’s designed to control and contain”

- Brendan Telford, The Music
