Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
On the other side of the music scene Jacob Smotherman’s (Singer/Guitarist - Evans City Saints) band had decided to part ways. Jacob saw their demise as an opportunity to start something new. He signed up for auditions to “The Voice” (a show on NBC) and thought to himself “Who can I get to go with me?” Jacob then emailed Brent and the two along with mutual friend Dustin Lowery (Singer of Either Seeds/New Era Project) headed to Atlanta for the weekend. Unfortunately the three didn’t make it on the show, but from lemons came lemonade and they started a band! Brent then emailed his friend Harry Godwin (Drummer of Iselia) and asked if he would be interested in playing. Luckily Harry agreed leaving only the Bass position needed. This position is one of the most important and underrated positions of all, the bass player. In what could only be called fate Brent received a Facebook post from Nick Peeler (Former Bass The Devils Roundhouse) that simply read “Have Bass will travel!” Thus Drayton Road was born.
