Smith Curry on SoundBetter

I am a Nashville based multi-instrumentalist/producer who has worked for over 150 signed artists including Taylor Swift, Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Willie Nelson, Erasure etc...As a session player I have played on the ASCAP, CMA and ACM songs of the year.

As a session player I specialize in pedal steel, dobro, and lap steel but also do banjo, guitar and mandolin...As a producer I can do smaller acoustic based projects myself or bring in the legendary heavy hitters here in Nashville that I work with on a daily basis for bigger budget endeavors. My steel guitar and Dobro have been heard on legendary recordings like Randy Travis's "Three Wooden Crosses" and Billy Currington's "Good Directions" and I have an ultra high quality signal chain at my studio for remote recording of those instruments.

    Smith was recommended to us and he didn't disappoint! He laid down some great pedal steel and banjo parts for us which sit great in the song - quick turnaround and a nice guy. Thanks Smith!

    Smith is awesome! He's going into the studio with some of the top guys in Nashville and the results are phenomenal. He's also easy to communicate with and he delivered way ahead of schedule. Can't ask for anything more.

    Smith produced a couple 6 piece live band demos for me that came out great. I would definitely recommend reaching out if you're looking for someone that can deliver quality instrumental demos at a very reasonable price.

    Smith is an absolute Pro!! He played on 10 songs for me, and got them done super quick. Smith went above and beyond to get me exactly what I was hoping for! I highly recommend Smith if you want any steel or dobro tracked. Thanks Again Smith!! You’re a Legend!!

    He is the ultimate pro! If you haven't checked out his resume, pls do. Smith is an A list session musician and blows me away every time I hear him play. Also, great dude! :-)

    Anytime I’m producing a record - I call Smith Curry! He’s like a double layer of icing on the cake!
    No matter what the genre, Smith can find the perfect sound to make a song sound authentic and timeless.
    Having Smith Curry play on your track is like giving your song a really bad ass tattoo. No shit.

    One of my favorite things about Smith is when he plays steel guitar through his enormous effects pedal board! It sounds like an instrument from the future!
    Every note Smith plays is perfectly placed and executed with taste. Trust me, you’ll be so glad you hired him!
