The Smart Brothers

Jay and Lou Smart are two brothers from California who have been traveling around the country for the past few years living lives full of the sort of strange adventures you’d expect from a couple of vagabond minstrels. It is hardly a surprise, then, that the peculiar music of the Smart Brothers wafts distinctly of the open road- of faraway places that are not so faraway as they seem perhaps. The raw energy these lads put into everything they do is palpable…and contagious. They've managed to bridle their exuberance within a sparse acoustic medium that is at once classic and entirely refreshing. Inspired by the finest traditions of American roots music, the brothers have cultivated their vocal harmonies in a manner seldom achieved by any other sort of singing group save those bonded by blood and family. That being said, such harmonies have never existed in such a spunky collection of tunes before. You may well wonder why you have never heard acoustic music as exciting as this before.
