Sad Brad Smith

A few years ago this kind of music said to be old man's music, but later while the irony era emerges the term Folk Music can be a new word for coolness, and i don't mind as long as the band can provide good messages and nice music with the fresh air from the mountain like Sad Brad Smith.


Sad Brad Smith’s namesake immediately establishes this crafty songsmith as a tongue-in-cheek kind of guy. While his purposefully exaggerative lyrics maintain wistful melancholy while elbowing you in the side with a wink, there’s no denying the prowess and visceral candor in Smith’s simple indie folk aesthetic. Sad Brad Smith makes his home and cooks his meals in Chicago, though he spent some time in Hollywood recently penning music for the Oscar-nominated film Up In The Air (“Help Yourself”) before sculpting his independently-released debut Love Is Not What You Need – 12 observational, confessional, witty songs that exists somewhere between Jeff Mangum’s introspection and Adam Green’s playful yet more sincere repertoire.
