Maybe Smith is the stage name of Colin Skrapek,[1] a Canadian indie pop singer and songwriter from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[2] He released five full-length albums and two EPs in the 2000s,[3] primarily on the independent label Sir, Handsome Records.
His style blended glitchy "bedroom" electronic production with folk-rock and country-rock songwriting.[4]
In 2007, he embarked on a cross-Canada tour with Carbon Dating Service.[5] His 2007 album Animals & Architects was a Western Canadian Music Award nominee for Outstanding Rock Album in 2008.[6]
Although he has not released any new music since 2009's Another Murder in the Morning, he continued to be active in Saskatoon's local music scene, including a live performance opening for Grant Lawrence on his book tour to promote The Lonely End of the Rink: Confessions of a Reluctant Goalie,[7] and appearing as a guest musician on The Wastes, a 2015 album by singer-songwriter Dean Summach under the band name Economics.[8]
