BIOGRAPHY

David Dyer & The Crooked Smile Band (CSB) are "a diverse group of veteran musicians from several of Central Carolina's finest bands." CSB brandishes their own style of bluegrass-dusted "porch-rock" fusing Byrdlike vocal harmonies with Prine-like storytelling that is sometimes humorous, sometimes guttural, but always honest.

CSB has been crafting roots-inspired music since December 1999, released an independent CD in the Fall of 2000, and are now out supporting frontman and principal songwriter David Glenn Dyer's latest record, "Crossroads Grocery," currently receiving international recognition.

Witness one of their high-octane live performances, described by one music writer as "Hank Sr. meets the Beatles", and it is obvious that this band
truly loves what they do.
