Kent M. Smith

The singer songwriter, Kent M. Smith, has established a niche that rides somewhere in between spaces; from nostalgic to catchy to creepy to caring, Kent blends soul and indie rock in a way that is both wholly original and somehow familiar.
Hailing from Kelso, Washington, Kent has been perfecting his musical and lyrical approach for over a decade. Having been raised in the 90's, the echoes of his influences can be heard like individual threads weaved into the fabric of his songs. From Mariah Carey and Boyz 2 Men to gypsy jazz legend Django Reinhardt and hard rock icons Guns and Roses, Kent blends it all together without entirely falling into any previously established camp. His lyrics and tones speak to the soul of the listener while also injecting the slight sensation of strangeness that pervades his many musical offerings.
Whether solo and acoustic or with a full backing band, the harmonizing ability of Kent maintains an addicting listening quality that is hard to come by.
