Sofie and The New Relics are taking Central Arkansas by storm

Sofie Smithson, hailing from Greenbrier, Arkansas, 17-year-old Sofie is not just the lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist; she's a musical powerhouse, inspired by country legends like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Emmy Lou Harris since her pivotal Nashville trip at 13.

Jude Brown, only 15, brings the groove as our upright bassist and percussionist. A native of Cabot, Arkansas, Jude began his musical journey at six, playing for various bands, marching in his school band, and participating in his church's worship team. His diverse experience adds a unique depth to our sound.

Wyatt Perry, our lead guitarist and banjoist from Bryant, Arkansas, is a prodigy at just 15. Despite only playing guitar for three years, he's already nearing professional level. When he's not mastering strings, he's out fishing or hunting, embodying the spirit of Arkansas.

Grady Martin, joining us from White Hall, Arkansas, is our bass guitarist and another percussion powerhouse. At 16, Grady has been immersed in music since he was three. He balances his passion for music with his love for football, bringing a dynamic energy to our band.

Together, Sofie and The New Relics are more than just musicians; they're a youthful, vibrant force in the music scene, blending their diverse backgrounds into a sound that's both fresh and deeply rooted in the musical heritage of Arkansas
