Derek Alexander Smith is a folk/country musician and creator based in Jersey City. His musical interests have always been eclectic but firmly rooted in Americana. Drawing from the diverse influence of artists like Woody Guthrie, Waylon Jennings, Tony Rice, Jorge Ben Jor, and Django Reinhardt -- his vivid, introspective lyrics provide the voice to a home-brewed guitar style which ranges from slow and melancholic, to frenetic and upbeat.
