I took interest in music through the influence of my father, Charlie Smartt, at the age of thirteen. Starting with bass and guitar, I eventually developed an interest in the fiddle. Billy Womack, a regional favorite fiddling barber from Woodbury Tennessee, took Michael under his wing providing the basis for old-time and bluegrass fiddling. Michael met Jim Wood through playing a mutual friend’s wedding several years later. Realizing Jim as the most capable of any teacher in acoustic music, I began lessons with Jim Wood studying for twelve years. I have enjoyed the opportunity to play music around the world with venues ranging from Europe to the Grand Ole Opry, the 1996 Olympics to area churches and nursing homes.
