UPCOMING SHOWS

Rustin Smith is a Midwest singer, songwriter, and guitarist with roots that run deep in American rock and roll. In the 1990s he co-founded Satellite Soul, a signed band on Memphis' Ardent Records — home of Big Star — who toured extensively and built a following on the strength of original songs and relentless live performance.
Since then he has released original music independently, including Soldier Songs — a collection that drew on civil war love letters and space fantasies, confession and lament, to arrive at something intimate and cinematic at once. The record remains his most recent, and the sensibility behind it — haunted, melodic, emotionally honest — is the thread that runs through everything he does. These days Smith performs regularly throughout the Kansas City metro: wineries, cocktail lounges, private events. His sets draw from decades of American and British radio nostalgia, filtered through the taste of someone who has spent a lifetime thinking carefully about songs. He is also writing again, with new collaborations in progress. For booking inquiries, contact via email. |
