The Smokers was a recording project with Billy Dechand, David DeMallie, Matt Kaden, Matthew Schickele, and Matt Sutton.

We all traded roles: songwriting, guitar, bass, organ, drums, etc.

And we would rehearse, record and mix each song in one session. Gloriously simple, yet innovative and weird. Joyously so.

We made the one album, and stopped there.

It remains one of my favorite projects I’ve ever been a part of. It was a remarkable experience with a remarkable group of talented people.

Listen and enjoy. Feel free to ask about about any tracks. They're my grandchildren, so I'll talk your ear off.
