Nina Jo Smith
Email Nina JoNina Jo Smith is a natural-born Indie Grrl (born on the 4th of July). She accompanies her sweet voice and wry, wise lyrics with clean, inventive fingerpicking on 6- and 12-string guitars. She recently began making music again after a long silence. For twenty years after her brother was killed, Nina Jo devoted herself to anti-violence work. She studied martial arts, taught self-defense to more than a thousand people and continues to do visionary antiviolence work.
When Nina Jo began performing again, she discovered a renaissance of guitar-based song and receptive audiences. Nina Jo brings the focus and passion of a martial artist to her gentle music.
