Even without a record label supporting their music, the Kenny & Amanda Smith Band won the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) award for the emerging artist of the year in 2003, only a year after showcasing at the well-known bluegrass convention.
Kenny is well known among bluegrass guitarists. He was the Society Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America's guitar player of the year three times and was named the IBMA's guitar player of the year twice. He was also part of perhaps the finest lineup of the Lonesome River Band in the 1990s. Amanda began singing at the age of 9 and soon learned guitar and started writing music. By age 19, she had won numerous talent contests and recorded two CDs. Amanda and Kenny met at a Lonesome River Band concert in West Virginia in 1995. Their first date was in November of that year, and they've been playing music together since.
Other members of the band include Steve Huber on banjo, Ronald Inscore on mandolin and Greg Martin on bass. The Kenny & Amanda Smith Band released the album House Down the Block on Rebel Records in 2004.
