I was born in Cleveland and raised in Florida. I studied the accordion at the age of seven. My brother was a drummer, so I had a full drum set to bang on and learn beats from Motown 45s. I played the baritone horn in grade school and picked up the guitar on my own. From Florida's Gulf Coast and New York City to Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and South Dakota's Black Hills, I have been performing blues, rock,and country music both in bands and on my own for many years. I perform a solo show that can go in two different directions.

We created great music, shared a passion for music that ran deep and had a need to entertain. Thus Mr. Smyth was born.
