"Smith may be the most common name in America, but there's nothing common about the ironically titled 'Sweet, Sweet Nothing.' Yes, it's sweet, but also really something. Smith sings from a soulful yet knowing perspective, imbuing each song with an immediate attraction, which leaves, in turn, an indelible impression."

Performing Songwriter Magazine, December 2008
"If there's a waiting line to be the next VH-1 Heartthrob, David Andrew Smith should be allowed to cut. And that's no knock. Like Gavin Degraw and Jason Mraz and whoever the new one is, with the beard scruff and melancholy tunes, Smith makes emotive Pop Rock begging for hearts to embrace it. And it has personality. Smith's 'Sweet, Sweet Nothing' is bound to grab industry ears and soundtrack many a late-night bubblebath."

"One Fantastic Performer."
- Melissa Goode, 'b' Magazine |

With his addictive melodies, a soulful vocal style and an off-the-beaten-path kind of pop-sensibility, Baltimore-based pop/rock singer/songwriter David Andrew Smith is quickly gaining formidable momentum towards becoming a major national act. He has shared the stage with/opened for an eclectic mix of acts, including Maroon 5, Toby Keith, My Chemical Romance, The Used, Thrice, The Bouncing Souls, Eric Hutchinson, Graham Colton, Virginia Coalition and The Heartless Bastards (who toured with Lucinda Williams). In the process, he has developed a strong fan base and attracted attention from many professionals in the music industry and beyond, from Performing Songwriter magazine to Dean Dinning of Toad the Wet Sprocket to Ben Stein. Having previously been the front man for the Maryland-based bands Plan B, Truesetto and The Making, he made his solo debut in April of 2008 with the release of his EP, "Sweet, Sweet Nothing," mixed by Drew Mazurek (Linkin Park, HIM). |
