Prepare yourself to be immersed in warm, harmony-rich, disco rock anthems by the purveyors of pure energy - Smokey Brights. Based in the Pacific Northwest, the Smokeys are fronted by husband/wife duo Ryan Devlin and Kim West. Rounding out their harmonies and exceptional musicality is Luke Ragnar on bass and Nick Krivchenia on drums.
We've been obsessed with the music of Smokey Brights since we discovered them, which surprisingly, was only recently. They have a way of constructing a song that is so familiar, yet brand new - making you feel the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s all at once, and yet totally current. Songs that are haunting, but somehow comforting - like a story of warning, that fills you with hope.
We'll take a dive in to several tracks with Ryan and Kim, and learn how they all met as students and aspiring musicians working at the same pizza shop. Since they were broke, they decided to record some covers together as gifts for their loved ones, and realized they had something special. 10+ years later, they're still producing incredible music and performing it across the country and overseas.
We feature "No Getting Out", "I Love You But Damn", and "Unity", and they play 2 songs live acoustic - "72" and "Broken Too". And Tiny sings along!
