Smith & Jones

Women of heart and soul

Smith & Jones are a Bathurst based duo, made up of keyboard player/vocalist Abby Smith, and guitarist/vocalist Sophie Jones.

Their work is centred around the intersection of womanhood and identity within regional areas, with a dedication to artistic leadership, community engagement and creative integrity. Their songs are reminiscent of the classic female singer songwriters from the 60s and 70s, with clear influences ranging from Joni Mitchell to Stevie Nicks.

Although their compositions have their roots in previous decades, their sound and songs, based around their tight harmony singing and rich musicality, are fresh, witty, sweet and nostalgic.

Smith & Jones have toured and performed extensively over their 11-year partnership off the back of their first two self-funded albums (Dark Gives Way, 2017; and Something Worth Learning, 2019).

2024 saw Abby and Sophie begin work on their newest project, tentatively titled My Heart Is Always Taking Me. This new work marks a fresh chapter for Smith & Jones, and is the musical representation of two souls who decided to yearn, and wait, and make magic, together. The first 3 singles, ‘Waiting on my Turn’, ‘Highrise’ and ‘Home’ from this work are currently available now on all streaming services.

“Smith & Jones bring a soulful ache, a warm blend of 70s pop, folk and even a touch of gospel to everything they touch.”
