Fred Smith LIVE at Kilderkin Distillery

Fred Smith is one of Australia’s most original songwriters - equal parts performer, diplomat and comic. From peacekeeping missions in Bougainville and Afghanistan to festival stages across the country, Fred brings stories to life with warmth, humour and unforgettable melodies.

His shows blend sharp satire, heartfelt ballads and tales from the frontlines, featuring songs from his acclaimed album Dust of Uruzgan and collaborations with Liz Frencham and The Spooky Men’s Chorale. Expect laughter, goosebumps, and a deep dive into the human experience - from the absurd to the profound.

As seen on ABC’s Australian Story, Fred’s performances are rich in character, insight, and charm. Don’t miss this rare chance to catch a master storyteller in full flight.
