Tuk Smith, along with his signature blend of Cheap Trick licks, AC/DC swagger and a guitar wizardry reminiscent of Thin Lizzy, is not just a recognized name amongst the gluttons of rock music: he is an absolute force.
If charisma and talent were all it took to be a star, than Tuk would have long ago cemented himself among the world’s most notorious and beloved songwriters. But in a business filled with loaded die and bloated suits, Tuk remains a rock n roll outcast. Paradoxically, he continues to strive for that coveted spot of musical immortality that, in today’s modern world of algorithms and social media trends, is almost-entirely reserved for those with the money to buy their way in or for those who are willing to lose themselves.
Never willing to settle, never ready to stop, Tuk is slated to release his anticipated sophomore album in 2024. Listeners can expect more hooks that stay with them for days and choruses they can scream along to the first listen through.
The kid is rockin’ like the rent’s due… because it is.
