About Smalltown

While Matt Cowan and Scotty Luke were playing with another band in the Swansboro, NC area, they met drummer Jeff Hill through mutual contacts and Jeff became the band's drummer. Through Jeff, the band was introduced to Bric Henderson (lead guitar) and David Jones (bass) as they have played together throughout the years. Some of those groups included Tom Baker, All My Rowdy Friends, David Lee Jones, Sabin Sharp, and Leesburg, to name a few.  In 2026, we've introduced Austin Brooks to our roles as Scotty is still an active duty Marines and is now stationed in Okinawa, Japan.  Since the band's inception in early 2023, we've played at venues like the Carolina Home and Garden, Bogue Sound Distillery, The Pirates Deck, Homer's Point Marina, the Chattahoochie Country Club, and a number of private events to name a few. And we're always looking to play wherever people want to hear good music!

 

One of the things that the boys in the band can really appreciate is that they work very well together. They bring their decades worth of experience in music together to create a blend of the music everyone loves with their own sound which melds very well with the old country to classic rock that fans enjoy. Vocally, Scotty, David and Jeff's harmonies blend seamlessly with Matt's smokey and graveled baritone. From Matt's vocals to Bric's lead guitar licks, Smalltown will have you toe-tapping, singing along and dancing with the songs that folks have always enjoyed.  Since early 2026, Scotty has been stationed in Okinawa, Japan and Austin Brooks has joined the band in Scotty's place.  Austin brings the rhythm guitar coupled with earnest vocals which adds another layer to the awesome sounds of the country and rock that y'all love and we deliver.
