Here's exactly what you need to know about Shinedown. Brent Smith and his bandmates – guitarist Jasin Todd, bassist Brad Stewart, and drummer Barry Kerch – don't want to do anything but rock. It's their reasons for being.




Smith refers to his songs as "my children" and puts a kind of nurturing care into the way he crafts them. "When I wake up in the morning I say that I hope today I don't fall short of genius. People will ask me, what does that mean? It means it's an amazing thing to have the gift of being able to play music. It's not my job, it's my honor."




"We're all different, and somehow we make a match. Nobody's singled out as the superstar or this guy or that guy. It's about a unity, a brotherhood, and about sharing what we've all been through and being able to take it to the stage."
