Bryan Elijah Smith is an award winning American singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist producer based out of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Smith’s innate songwriting ability and haunting voice leave you with a sense of timeless nostalgia. With over 1,000 songs penned & 12 independent releases since 2009, Smith is creating a self-produced legacy that began with his first song at the age of 18. Aside from touring the united states for well over a decade, smith has also toured internationally in both Australia & Honduras. Crossing a wide array of genres, what gets produced has been compared to the likes of bruce Springsteen to kings of Leon to Gregory Alan Isakov. Smith recently won 2nd place in the prestigious Chris Austin songwriting contest at Merlefest 2019 where the title track to his new album, ‘in through the dark’, was 1 of 12 songs chosen out of 970 national entries. Smith has been a Casc finalist 2 years in a row (past finalist include Gillian welch, Tift Merritt & Lera Lynn). ‘in through the dark’ won 1st place in the Unsigned Only 2019 international songwriting contest where there were 6,000 entries from over 100 countries. Judges included Aimee Mann, Robert smith of The Cure, Garth Hudson from the band and many more. ‘In Through the Dark’ also appears in a new Netflix series called ‘Virgin River’ which premiered December 2019. Subsequently the song was a 2020 independent music awards nominee in the ‘used in film/tv’ category.
