Kenny and Amanda Smith
“That’s When You
Know” – ”Female Vocalist of the Year,
beautiful isn’t it, I’ll have to play a lot more from her” - Marie
Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Genre;
Bluegrass
Record
Label: Farmboy Records
Kenny
and Amanda Smith’s debut release SLOWLY BUT SURELY in 2001 was meant mainly for
family and friends, but bluegrass radio and fans would have none of it.
Embracing the couple and their music, fans propelled that first album’s “Amy
Brown” to the top of the bluegrass charts.
KASB’s latest album, CATCH ME IF I TRY (Released Nov 6, 2012 UK iTunes – Amazon UK ), has enjoyed several singles on the Bluegrass Today charts – the title track reached #1 last November. It was recorded at Gat 3 Productions Charlotte, NC featuring: Kenny Smith (Guitar & Harmony Vocal), Amanda Smith ( Lead vocal), Cory Piatt (Mandolin), Austin Ward (Bass), Special Guest (Ron Stewart Banjo) & Alan Bartram (Harmony Vocal)
As a
young band, KASB won the 2003 IBMA
Emerging Artist of the Year award and has gone on to earn several IBMA,
Grammy, and Dove award nominations. More important, they’ve gained fans
worldwide and have landed some pretty impressive gigs such as opening shows for
the great Loretta Lynn and the late George Jones.
Originally
from Nine Mile, Indiana, Kenny is
widely considered one of the most important and influential flatpicking-style
guitarists of his generation. A two-time IBMA Guitarist of the Year award
winner, his professional credits include six years with the popular Lonesome
River Band and an exceptional solo CD, Studebaker, released on Sugar Hill
Records in 1997.
Kenny
is in great demand at guitar workshops and master classes, teaching at the
renowned Roanoke Bluegrass Weekend series and at guitar workshops at major
events such as IBMA. He has just released a two-DVD instruction set on AcuTab
Publications.
Born in
the small town of Davisville, West Virginia, Amanda grew up singing in church choirs and participating in talent
contests at local fairs. “I always sang, my mom and dad said, even before I can
remember,” she says. She started playing guitar in high school to accompany
herself, and soon discovered bluegrass music through female artists such as
Rhonda Vincent and Alison Krauss.
Amanda
met Kenny at a Lonesome River Band concert, and the couple began dating and
playing music together almost immediately. “I wouldn’t say it was love at first
sight, but there was definitely something there,” she says. Their shared
Christian faith, love for bluegrass and desire to perform together led them to
record a debut CD, Slowly But Surely, in 2001. Recruiting several of their
favorite players for the session, the album surged up the bluegrass charts on
the strength of their hit song, “Amy Brown.”
They
were both nominated for two awards at the 2014 IBMA Awards this year. Kenny was
up for Guitar Player of the Year (won by Bryan Sutton) & Amanda, a mother
to be, won Female Vocalist Award for
the first time on Oct 2nd at the 25th Annual IBMA Awards Show held in Raleigh,
North Carolina. The event was held at the Duke Energy Center for the Performing
Arts and hosted by Lee Ann Womack and Jerry Douglas.
