Brendan Michael Smith & The Susquehanna Boom Company are rooted in Northeast Pennsylvania but shaped by years on the road. Smith, a classically trained musician and veteran touring drummer, brings a rare dual-role presence to the stage — fronting the band while either pickin’ a Martin box or driving the rhythm from behind the kit.

The Boom Company’s sound lives at the crossroads of Americana, roots rock, jamgrass, and folk-country, balancing narrative songwriting with momentum and feel. Their sets move fluidly between hard-driving originals, groove-based jams, and stripped-down moments that pull audiences in before launching them right back out.

Whether performing in an intimate room or on a festival stage, BMS & SBC focus on connection: real songs, real energy, and performances built for people who actually want to feel something.

LIVE SHOW DESCRIPTION

A BMS & The Susquehanna Boom Company show is energetic, dynamic, and never background music.

Expect:

  • Original Americana & roots-rock songs

  • Big drums, gritty guitars, and tight grooves

  • Jam-leaning moments without losing song structure

  • Crowd interaction and high engagement

  • A set that builds momentum and keeps people in the room

This is a beer-on-the-floor, lean-in-and-listen kind of show — built for bars, outdoor stages, and festivals that value energy and authenticity.
