About

Revelle Smith is a former child prodigy. He began playing the guitar at the age of 4 and simply is one of the most talented musicians in the Chicagoland area today.  He is an amazingly versatile musician who plays guitar (lead, bass, bass upright, acoustic, nylon strings and guitar synthesizer), harmonica (chromatic) and drums.  He can play in just about any style — such as jazz, R&B, blues, Neo soul and he is a scat and blues singer.  His inspirations have been George BensonLarry CarltonBilly Rogers and Joe W. Smith.  He can do dead-on impressions of George Benson, Wes Montgomery, B.B. King and Larry Carlton. Not only can he play lead brilliantly, he also is one of the best rhythm guitarist around, supportive to soloists in the soul and jazz format.
Revelle has played with Little Milton Blues LegendTim Gant of the Ramsey Lewis Band, Sheila Hutchinson of The Emotions, various venues and private events. He has composed and performed music for commercials and small or large businesses.  He has produced and recorded original compositions on two albums entitled License to Chill and Business as Usual.
