With the release of Lovers Vow on Rockit Records, Bruce Smith again proves his reputation as a convention-breaking songwriter, and justifies the critical acclaim he has received.

On his latest release, Smith rolls up his sleeves and dives headfirst into Americana. While his songs are populated by fast cars, urban landscapes and pretty girls always just out of reach, what makes the album special is the ironic way Smith describes every price paid for love and how he understands that redemption often comes along in unexpected ways. Add to that rollicking rhythms, choruses that you can't get out of your head, and a kick-ass band blasting their way through terrific rock and roll arrangements and you have music that one critic called " …bristling… intelligent and accessible".

Lovers Vow is quickly becoming a favorite on college radio, and is receiving heavy airplay across the country, with music directors claiming this is a "great album" by a "talented outfit". Look for the Bruce Smith Band to come to a station near you soon.

A veteran of New York City's club scene and a favorite at music festivals across the country, Smith plays regularly at The Bottom Line, Mercury Lounge and Rodeo Bar in NYC, The Birchmere in Washington, D.C. and The Middle East in Boston. He has played with such notables as Nils Lofgren and Lisa Loeb. The Bruce Smith Band has also received critical acclaim from Billboard Magazine, Alternative Press and his first CD, Get The Picture, was featured in Performing Songwriter magazine as one of 1998's top independent releases
