Smokey's Farmland band was formed in 2004 when friends who played music and camped out together on Smokey's land decided to collaborate and further their music. The music is a great mixture of bluegrass, funk, reggae, gipsy, acoustic jazz, and mixture of different progressive jams. Currently the band consists of Jared Womack (guitars/dobro/vocals), Justin Roberts (upright bass), Rurik Nunan (violin/vocals), Ian Newberry (guitar), Trey Gibbs (mandolin/vocals) and Kyle Tuttle (banjo). Among many accomplishments Smokeys Farmland Band was given the opportunity to play at The Blue Ridge Harvest Festival 2004 with such acts as Bob Weir & Ratdog, Medeski Martin & Wood, Derek Trucks Band, Tony Rice, Karl Densons Tiny Universe, and many others. Smokeys Farmland Band plans to continue playing scheduled festivals and different local shows building a solid following of unique like-minded friends.
