Bio
Wonderful Smiths create original music that doesn’t paint within the lines. You’ll hear 60s jams, disco grooves, grinding guitars and soulful vocals reminiscent of The Black Crowes, The Rolling Stones or The Black Keys.
Started as a band while most musicians were in lockdown, Wonderful Smiths have gone on to play with regional, national and international acts like Smash Mouth, Kris Lager Band, Kings and Associates, Surf Zombies, and Kevin Burt. They are earning their place at the table of formidable, versatile original acts.
The band's first EP was released in spring 2024 and is available for streaming on all major platforms.

Testimonials
“The Wonderful Smiths are just what their name implies - master smiths of their craft. They bring lifetimes of study to the stage in explosive performances that upend every attempt to define their genre. Blues, rock n roll, funk - we’ll have to settle for “Americana”…wild, rich, and undefinable. Their music is no less than a celebration, which, on top of their technique, is precisely what makes it so compelling.”
“Wonderful Smiths opened a show for us at The Ideal Theater in Cedar Rapids and we were totally engrossed in their guitar interplay and old soul vocals. These guys have the potential to do anything they want!”
“Wonderful Smiths provide a warm, yet gritty sound that perfectly compliments their mix of original music and covers that you don’t notice are covers. They are blues, southern rock, indie, and everything in between. If you are looking for a great band, filled with better people, look no further!”
“This is as strong as a debut recording can get. Wonderful Smiths prove they are indeed a force to be reckoned with on the music scene.”
