SoundClick artist: George Smith - Country & Bluegrass Songwriter

Traditional/Classic Country, Country and Western, Bluegrass, "new-grass" songwriter, co-writing successfully with artists from Nashville to Norfolk to Nacogdoches... BMI affilitated...

Why this name?

It's who I've always been...

Do you play live?

Haven't lately, but would consider it...

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

Immediate access to a wider audience... but a bit harder to "control" for the artist.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

If they're interested, I'd be interested...

Band History:

Songwriter for 10 plus years, successfully working with various country/bluegrass/blues artists around the US.

not that it matters...
