Nate Smith

Kinfolk 2: See The Birds is the highly anticipated follow-up to drummer, composer, and bandleader Nate Smith's 2017 Grammy-nominated album Kinfolk: Postcards From Everywhere.

Featuring the diverse and all-star talents of Brittany Howard, Amma Whatt, Joel Ross, Kokayi, Michael Mayo, Regina Carter, Stokley and Vernon Reid, Kinfolk 2: See The Birds is the inspired and emphatic album that exemplifies Nate's artistry as one of the most exciting, dynamic and innovative drummer-composers of his generation, adept across multi-genres and styles.

Taking inspiration from his teenage years spent absorbing the diverse and eclectic riches of Prince, Michael Jackson and Living Colour, Kinfolk 2: See The Birds is a multi-faceted jewel and perhaps one of the most significant albums of 2021.
