3 QUESTIONS
ONE: How did Smoke and Feather come together?
Josh Terry: I moved here in ’06 from L.A., met Hunter, started playing music, kind of started writing songs with some other guys, and then eventually found these two and started playing shows. It was ’07 when that happened.
Hunter Calahan: ’08. It took a little while for it to finally happen.
Josh Terry: The band name is just using imagery to describe what our sound is. It doesn’t have any super great meaning about it.
