The Academy of Texas music presents the 2013 Vocal Group of the Year winners! Known for their symbiotic harmonies, humorous lyrics and ‘3-D’ brand of guitar playing, Smythe and Taylor have been been performing together since 2000 and have 10 CDs between them.

They offer an eclectic variety of acoustic music, including contemporary and familiar tunes as well as their award-winning originals.

Their live shows celebrate the craft of songwriting in bluegrass, blues, folk, and Americana music. 'S&T' love to hit the road and perform for audiences in listening rooms and house concerts.

They've been on seven European tours and were featured seven years in a row at the Guildford Music Festival in England, sharing T-shirt real estate with Blondie, The Bay City Rollers, Richard Thompson, The Waterboys, Hayseed Dixie, Blue Oyster Cult, Jimmy Cliff, The Sawdoctors, The Levellers and even Billy Idol! Smythe and Taylor have publishing deals with Universal Music Group, Smith Music and Bug Music.

Based in Texas, Colorado and Europe, this group is willing and able to travel anywhere they can find a discerning audience and at least a break-even arrangement!
