Paul Ely Smith: News

I have several projects now ongoing. I've been producing a CD for a remarkable mandolin virtuoso, Richard Kriehn. You can listen to a track from that CD, a Beethoven piece originally for mandolin and piano (I arranged the piano part for DADGAD guitar), on the music page here. And besides the Potatohead CD, I have started a blog--

This fall I released a new recording, "Mosaic," featuring songs I have composed (and one that I arranged and adapted) as part of a commission from the Common Ministry at Washington State University and University of Idaho to create a new devotional service that anyone, of any religion or no religion, could practice. Unless you can attend a service, the only way to purchase one of the limited number of signed copies of the CD is through this website, only $7 (includes shipping). You can listen to and download two cuts from the CD in the Music section.

I've just released my first new recording in years, "Handmade." This is the long-awaited recording of my music for Thomas Arthur's performances.
