John Kingman Smith

John Kingman Smith grew up in a musical household with parents who played and gave him an appreciation and love for bluegrass and folk music.

Those influences shine through in his music today whether he is playing solo or with his alternative-folk band 3 Dollar Suit (www.3dollarsuit.net).

Now based in the Baltimore area, John spent many years in Glen Rock, PA and writes songs about the towns, people and communities in which he's lived.

He is currently working on production for two albums - a live concert recording with 3 Dollar Suit and a solo project.
