Career
Growing up in the small town of Kennebunk, Maine, Smaldone developed an interest in punk rock and skateboarding. Smaldone was a founding member of the Pinkerton Thugs, an anarchist street punk band that played an integral part in the mid-1990s Boston punk revival. He played in several other bands of different styles prior to becoming a solo performer around the turn of the century.Built upon a foundation of fingerstyle Piedmont Blues guitar, Smaldone's solo efforts have expanded over the years into full-band accompaniment, both acoustic and electric, and often vivid, harrowing lyrics.
To date he has released four solo studio albums, and has toured regularly across United States and Europe. Now based in South Portland, Maine, Smaldone has started a new punk project called Wake in Fright. He also builds and sells amplifiers.
