Steve Smyth

Australian singer/songwriter Steve Smyth blends a variety of influences into his earthy, soulful sound. From the bar room grit of Tom Waits to the wistful melancholia of Jeff Buckley. Smyth grew up travelling the country and was constantly surrounded by music. He took to guitar early, and was playing solo and in bands by his teenage years, taking in a mix of folk (Lead Belly, Dave Van Ronk) and rock (Radiohead, Nirvana) influences. He issued his debut album “Release” in 2011, after which he travelled Europe, acting on his wanderlust, touring, working and writing songs for his follow up. After signing with Australian label Ivy League Records, Smyth travelled to Los Angeles to record his second album with a well-seasoned rhythm section featuring Joey Waronker (Beck) on drums and Gus Sevffert (The Black Keys) on bass. The album “Exits” was released in the summer of 2014. After touring the world extensively for the Exits record, Steve relocated to Barcelona in 2016 to write his next compilation of music, a 4 EP collection titled: Blood, Matches, Fractures and Celebration. It's the story of human catastrophe and redemption, one that Steve is excited to share with the world starting early 2020.
