With 2008 rapidly approaching The Burnin Smyrnans can't wait to see what the new year has in store. Logging in over 30 Festival performances in 06 and 07. They strive to gain national recognition at all corners of the globe, The music is "Diverse, Festive and Organic". After the New Release of "travelalong" They will embark on a national tour capping of the tour in Florida where they will Host the 3rd Annual Camp Jam followed by more extensive touring and festival performances around the states. The Burnin Smyrnans began in 2002, when multi-istrumentalists Jeff White and Jason Wigley joined forces. They started out both playing acoustic guitars for friends and at parties, they threw some hand drums in the mix and found instant chemistry. Jeff had already written a bunch of catchy tunes that Jason spiced up with his tasty riffs. They wrote new material and played with various rhythm sections for about a year or two, then Jeff switched to Bass in Late 03 and they did several mini tours from Florida to the Carolinas. When their Drummer Chris Reeves returned to college In early 2005, they recruited Anthony Diaz, former drummer of "Octopus Friendly", a local jam band, and everything seemed to start falling into place. Years ago, Jeff had met percussionist Gale Pellerin during an extennded visit to Vermont and together, the duo supported The Wailers. In the spring of 2005, Gale moved down to Florida to join the group. After their latest release, "Highly Recommended", the Burnin' Smyrnans have been touring constantly to establish their grassroots following. They have been adding members along the way and now have a tight six piece crew, featuring Jason Rogers with his soul lifting guitar solos and Eric Christian on his super-smooth sax and Back-up vocal Harmonies. They have performed over 300 shows with this lineup, so come experience their Undeniable Vibes and Musical explosion live and see what all the hype is about.
