Bio

J.D Smith is a London based solo blues/punk/rockabilly who has been trying for the past 4 years to bring Rockabilly back from the brink. Having stayed outside of the Rockabilly scene, where Rockabilly music has found itself stuck, J.D. has played in venues that include the Luminarie (in support of Wanda Jackson) the Barfly (upstairs and downstairs), the Fly, Purple Turtle (Camden), the Cafe de Paris, the Dublin castle, the Hope and Anchor, the Bull & Gate, the Notting hill arts club and the 12 Bar Club.

J.D's debut album '' A Jukebox riot,'' which was recorded earlier this year by Darrel Higham (Modern Rockabilly guitarist), has now been released in HMV and a number of other internet based retail outlets. The album has been picked up by Total Rock's radio station, who carried out an hour long interview for their Rockabilly/country show and a number of underground magazines including Bizarre magazine, the Music Magazine and Bubblegum Slut.

With an idea, a guitar and a heap of Punk rock thrown in J.D. is hoping to wake people up to the idea that a solo act doesn't have to mean folk,
it can also be dangerous again.
