ABOUT

Linda Marshall-Smith, aka "Sylver Smith," started playing guitar and piano at age 11. Her dad was a jazz guitarist on the east coast, so instruments were always around.

Sylver founded her first band at age 13. All girls. "We were quite popular in the metro NY area all through my high school years. Lots of press. Lots of gigs, playing to a couple 1000 fans. Came very close to a record deal. We were a bit of an enigma back then -- before the Runaways, before the GoGos, before the Bangles. They didn't quite know what to do with us."

Sylver relocated to the west coast and ultimately formed The Silver Band in Los Angeles, a 60s retro pop rock cover and originals band with a little r&b thrown in. She was also a sideman in a 90's grunge/hard rock band, a surf band and a goth Carpenter's tribute. Just prior to the pandemic she doubled on keys and rhythm guitar singing both background and lead vocals for The Haskells.

Now in the Tampa Bay area she is looking to collaborate with interesting musicians locally. She writes original tunes and is dedicated, committed and loves to perform. Lead and background vocals. Rhythm guitar, doubles on keys.
