About
Misner & Smith
Sam
Misner and Megan Smith began their musical
collaboration after working together as actors on a production of
Woody Guthrie’s American Song and soon discovered
a mutual love of Americana music. Based in the San Francisco Bay
Area, both Sam and Megan are natives of Northern California. Balancing
their careers as actors and musicians is no easy task but the two
have found the art of storytelling to be one of the common threads
running through both forms. Characters of various types inhabit
their songs. Some are fictional, some autobiographical and some
historical; as in the tune “Triangle Factory Fire”.
Based on the true story of the infamous fire at the Triangle Waistcoat
Factory in New York City in 1911 the song combines facts and invention
to retell the tragic story from a first-person perspective. Crafting
songs rich in meaning and texture the duo’s sound is centered
around unique vocal harmonies and thoughtful lyrics. Their influences
span many genres ranging from Traditional and Old-time music, Bluegrass,
Folk and Rock and Roll, to Reggae, Motown and the Blues.
