Original indie rock from Seattle, WA

Meredith Smith (sometimes called The Meredith Smith Band) is an original five-piece indie rock band from Seattle, WA, helmed by its namesake. While the band may be called “Meredith Smith,” those on the inside know that is merely the name on the drumhead. After Meredith spent two years in the performance program at School of Rock, she introduced her three favorite musicians from the 80s Season – Jason Starkie, Fernando Cuevas, and Nick Wright – to her longtime production collaborator, Matthew Amster-Burton.

Meredith and Matthew had been separately producing More than a Dream, Meredith’s own original songs, and recording the EP at Meredith’s home. When Meredith was invited to play a house show, she jumped at the chance – and knew just who to call. Together, the band learned eight songs in four weeks. Two rehearsals and a soundcheck later, Bob’s your Uncle. The Meredith Smith Band was born.

As a result, you might say the band burst onto the Seattle music scene. Since then, the band has taken The Sunset, Blue Moon, and more dope Seattle venues by storm – and More than a Dream has been heard on 107.7 The End and Space 101.1 FM. Now, they’re writing new original music together. They’re excited to be out here, and looking forward to writing, recording, and sharing new tunes.
