The Background
SMITH & MYERS first came into being in 2014, with the release of their “Acoustic Sessions” EPs, which featured covers of artists like Neil Young, Billie Eilish, and Post Malone.

The duo has since released a double album, “SMITH & MYERS Volume 1” and “Volume 2”, which features a mix of original songs and reimagined covers. It’s like they took all the excitement and energy of SHINEDOWN’s music and replaced it with… acoustic guitars 🎸.
