Derek Smith and the Cosmic Vultures epitomize a nuanced blend of alternative, psychedelic, funk and indie rock vibes, encapsulated within an introspective musical narrative.
The band is comprised of frontman and rhythm guitarist Derek Smith, bassist Steve Constantino, rhythm and lead guitarists Michael Strakus and Jonathan Chesbro, and drummer Dalton DeLima.
Smith’s songwriting process seems to stem from an immersion into particular moods, channeling these emotions into evocative musical pieces. He eschews conventional song structures, opting instead to tell intricate stories through song fragments, ultimately creating a cohesive tapestry that fills the gaps of his intricate mental landscape.
“In their acclaimed track "Black Angel," Derek Smith and The Cosmic Vultures delve into uncharted territory, departing from their usual laid-back aura to embrace a more intense sonic landscape. Drawing inspiration from '90s American alt-rock, Britpop, Southern classic rock, and folk-rock, this song elevates their repertoire with a cascading glow, revealing a newfound depth in both musicality and thematic resonance.” Jammerzine 2023
With two back to back nominations at the New England Music Awards for “Artist of the Year” and “Rock Act of the Year” in 2022 and 2023 respectfully, Derek Smith and the Cosmic Vultures remain a mainstay in the New England music scene with their dynamic and eclectic music and energetic live shows.
