About Me

SMYTH is a fun-loving band led by two sisters: Meghan, the entertaining lead-singer, who draws in fans with her awe-inspiring split kicks & jumps, and Maureen, who pounds on her acoustic guitar & complements her sister's voice, resulting in captivating harmonies. Nina Soto, with her funky, yet smooth bass sounds, & rocking drummer, Tom Mellon, produce the solid rhythms to get the crowd moving. When the position became vacant, Nina scanned the extensive talent pool at her alma mater, University of the Arts, and reeled in former classmate Justin Verechia for lead guitar.Together, SMYTH relates fascinating life stories with unequivocal sincerity and candor, such as their songs You're Still Breathing and Let's Get Out of Here, and then return to the playfulness and vivacity that they are known for, in hilarious tales of the single social scene, like fan favorites Acting Like a Guy, High Stakes, and Attract. Animated and enthusiastic, they hang out in the crowd, continuing to amuse their fans long after the show is over. They are a spirited band that spreads fun, humor, and entertainment with a touch of mischief everywhere they go. Smyth4lyfe!
