Биография

‘Read My Face Out Loud’ out NOW 🦎 Rod Smoth is the project of Mississippi singer and guitarist Reed Smith. Raised in a family of southern gospel singers, Smith first picked up the guitar when he was eight years old. He began playing music with his family and graduated to heavier music in his teens, playing with various bands across the diverse and fertile Jackson, Mississippi music scene. Smith attended college in the Mississippi Delta, and eventually found himself with an internship in Nashville, sleeping on a friend’s couch. It was here that he picked up an acoustic guitar, fingerpicking and singing quietly so as not to bother his roommates. These limitations gave Smith the perfect outlet for his musical vision. By combining the eerie quiet of folk music with the darkness of 90s slowcore, Rod Smoth was born.
