American roots duo Smooth Hound Smith to open for Dixie Chicks

The Nashville-bred duo Smooth Hound Smith will open for the Dixie Chicks July 15 at Sleep Train Amphitheatre. Smooth Hound Smith is a foot stompin’ American roots duo comprised of “one-man-band” Zack Smith (guitars/vocals/foot drums/harmonicas/banjo) and Caitlin Doyle (vocals/percussion).

Established in 2012 and currently based in east Nashville, the duo records and performs a varied and unique style of folky, garage-infused rhythm and blues.

Using primal foot percussion, complex, fuzzed-out, finger-picked guitar patterns, warbled harmonicas, tasty harmonies and a lot of tambourine, the duo is able to create something rugged and visceral — a modern interpretation of early blues, soul and rock ‘n’ roll music that harkens back to the traditions of hazy front porch folk songs as well as raucous back-alley juke joints.

Smooth Hound Smith’s music has been featured on ABC’s “Nashville,” MTV’s “The Real World” and the Esquire Network. The duo has already been lauded by several publications, including Relix, American Songwriter and Nashville Scene, among others.

Smooth Hound Smith’s second full-length album “Sweet Tennessee Honey” was released on Jan. 15.
