David P. Smith is a multi-disciplinary artist who jumped from visual art, Dadaist performances, and slam style poetry into the Victoria musical scene with the irreverent hillbilly punk band The Dogbreath Brothers. He is a dynamic performer and an unflinchingly original songwriter who in the past 18 years has released six full length recordings, numerous ep’s, and led a variety of musical projects that have consistently defied convenient genre classifications. Deconstructing and reconstructing classic folk, hillbilly, and blues forms he has created a unique body of work that is tragic and hilarious, profane, surreal, and occasionally profound.
Aside from his original music projects, David is eclectic in his pursuits, including low tech free noise in the guise of Grampa Big Balls, The Songs of Hank Williams project, the Accordion Heavy duo with Ana Bon Bon, to drawing, poster design and photography.
