Soloman Smith writes and performs songs about the ‘human condition’, songs that are memorable and thought-provoking. His lyrics are laced with a wry intelligence and a sense of humour, and his subject matter is as broad as his musical influences.

Musically his songs are flavoured with folk roots, jazz, swing, blues, funk, soul and more and underpinned with a ‘coolness and groove’ that almost definitely stems from his love of all things jazz and swing (a love passed down from father to son).

Solo or, in combination with others (on guitar and Mandocello), he has over the course of his life played folk roots shows across the UK and has appeared on national and local radio/media. As he says himself he’s had the pleasure of being on the bill with some amazing musicians, and he’s known for liking a ‘gas’ with and involving his audience. His music is available on line and in CD format. He is based in Cambridgeshire UK.

“Soloman has a soulful voice and heart of conscience that are easy on the ear, his songs relate to the moment yet there is an essence of romance and a ‘dunk’ of jazz”.
Sue Marchant BBC East Regional Radio

Quirky 60's garage rock is reimagined from the nose of a surfboard, making High Waisted feel like a psychedelic lullaby. They’ve been called NME Magazine’s “Buzz Band to Watch”, declared “The Ultimate Party Band” by GQ and received praise from Consequence of Sound, Noisey, UPROXX, Billboard, LeftBank Mag, Paste, BTR Today, Refinery29, performed live at Nylon Magazine, Paste Magazine, and Sofar Sounds. They spent the last 4 years touring, playing both Riot Fest in Chicago and Denver, and supporting acts like Brazilian Girls, Shannon and the Clams, Kitten, Titus Andronicus, The Donkeys, Har Mar Superstar, The Coathangers, La Sera, Diarrhea Planet, La Luz, and The Shivas.

Jessica Louise Dye’s powerful voice meshes with Jono Bernstein’s vintage drum vibes, to create modern day anthems full of insightful hopes. Despite a bad bicycle injury last summer, Dye and High Waisted kept busy with a Nylon Mag feature, a record store day release alongside Bikini Kill, Lenny Kaye, and Atmosphere, wrote a song for NPR's More Perfect with a podcast feature, featured by SXSW, headlined the Las Vegas Strip Hard Rock Hotel for SBTV, wrapped their 5th sold out High Waisted at Sea and released The Acid Tapes Vol 4.

“Sick of Saying Sorry” (produced by Tad Kubler of the ‘The Hold Steady and mixed by Arun Bali ‘Saves The Day’) is an unapologetic record about finding hope in a hopeless situation and the strength to get up when the world is screaming at you to stay down.
