All-American Music
My Story
Lenny Smith was born and raised in the fertile musical landscape of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. He has been a performer for more than 30 years, making him a veteran in the Pittsburgh music scene. He also has experience in playing with various bands and singers, including his stint with Pittsburgh legend Billy Price from 1992 to 2007.
Various American Music Genres
Our guitar player is hoping to reach a wider audience through his versatile music styles. He has made three solo CDs in American song genres, such as soul, blues, and country. He also tries out anything that is pleasing to the ears.
Artistic Freedom
In terms of creating music, our composer enjoys moving from one genre to another. As Smith recalls:
“On my first CD (Let’s Play) I had the blues as a format, but threw in a couple of songs far to the left... On my second CD (Southern Style) I ditched the blues format and just played what I felt. That was liberating, not having to chain myself to one style of music, which to me is death... With my new CD American Stew, I once again find myself experimenting with all types of American music and you know it’s so cool to not lock myself into a box that I can’t work out of. It’s true, when your honest with yourself, you can be honest with your music. Being yourself and pouring out what God gave you is most important. Check out the new CD and you’ll know what I’m talking about! ”
