Mrs. Smith is an electric guitar virtuoso, philanthropist, and cat lover who has captured the public imagination with her unbridled creative expression in the face of a life filled with grief and rage. With an improbable life-tale that includes a lonesome childhood of privilege, 14 marriages, and show biz stardom and obscurity, Mrs. Smith is a 20th Century creature who has burst through to the internet age to become a sensation.

Mrs. Smith is the 2016 winner of the “Shred for Your Life” contest held at Webster Hall and was a featured performer at the Guitar Gods Festival in Miami opening up for guitar legends Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai. A video of her shredding on the streets of the East Village was shared byGuitar World Magazine and garnered 1.2 million views. Her unique blend of musical performance comedy has been featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, PBS Television as well as Joe’s Pub, American Repertory Theater and Berkeley Repertory Theater. She has also been seen at 54 Below, First Avenue, Webster Hall, Ars Nova, The Laurie Beechman Theater, Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, The Bell House, Union Hall, and the legendary Bushwig Festival, among many others.

“Mrs. Smith’s Broadway Cat-tacular!” wow’ed audiences Off-Broadway and was hailed by the New York Post as “Purrfect!” Mrs. Smith’s performance described as “Off its meds” by the Boston Globe, “Luminous” by Gay City News and “Oddly poignant…” by the New York Times.
