Kyle Smith
Singer-songwriter Kyle Smith, from Ventura, CA offers his blend of "Cali-Reggae" influenced by Ska, Hip-Hop, and Punk-Rock that is catchy & truthful. Kyle's roots come from troubled youth and addiction. His self-titled debut EP gives you a glimpse of the life he endured with songs like “Dope Fiend” and “Jaded” all the while keeping an uplifting spirit and tempo. Kyle's goal in life is to give hope and spread positive vibes with his music. His talent is raw, natural and unforced. With a flash of his smile Kyle immediately warms up the room and invites you into his world.
Kyle Smith's last release, "My Friend" (featuring Dan Kelly of Fortunate Youth) just debuted #3 on iTunes Top Reggae songs on April 9th. Kyle Smith has been touring & performing nationally at festivals such as California Roots, One Love Cali Reggae Fest, Mammoth Reggae Festival and more. Even in the most recent months he's been selling out private events and venues from LA to NY.
Pat Tato & the Baked Potatoes
In 2013 on the college campus of SUNY Oneonta, the band Baked Potatoes could be found playing just about every house party, skate shop, and dive bar in town. In the years following Pat and the rest of the Baked Potatoes graduated college and recorded their first Full Length Album ‘Loaded’ (2016) to much critical acclaim. Baked Potatoes played with the likes of John Brown’s Body, Roots of Creation, Bumpin’ Uglies, Magic Giant, Rubblebucket, & The Hip Abduction as well as performing the Great South Bay Music Festival (NY), The Jersey Shore Music Festival (NJ), Sterling Stage (NY) and more. Following graduating from SUNY Oneonta and releasing their first Album, the band found themselves taking a hiatus as the original members moved to Ohio, Arizona, Tennessee, and Alaska. Aaron and Pat decided to live on a bus, continuing to play music and drive up and down the east coast Busking on the street. In 2018 Pat had moved back to Syracuse, and no longer living on the bus, started to remake the Baked Potatoes with Syracuse Musicians (Salt Potatoes, if you will). Unable to capture the original magic of the band, Pat shifted focus and started releasing music as Pat Tato. The sound is different, Ambitious, Lyrical, Specific & thought provoking. From 2018-2022 Pat had stepped into the role of Lead Guitarist in the band Vaporeyes. The band released two studio albums, ‘Vaporeyes’(2019) & ‘Cantrips’(2020). Now, in 2022 Pat Tato has started to emerge on the Festival Circuit as an early crowd favorite. Combining setlists of old Baked Potatoes songs with New Pat Tato songs, as well as evolving and maturing into the New Sound that is ‘Pat Tato & the Baked Potatoes’, look for this name on Spotify Playlists, Festival Lineups, and Venues in your city!
