He formed Smith & Jackson with Jimmy Smith in 1997 and while based in Phoenix, Arizona picked up former Kiss producer/associate Sean Delaney as manager.The band toured with.. LYNYRD SKYNYRD/BLACKHAWK/TOBY KEITH/KEITH URBAN/.ON THE COUNTRY THUNDER TOUR. Following Sean's death in 2003 SMITH&JACKSON released their debut album, "Rivertown", on RGF Records (RGF/SJCD 057) in 2004.
