“Head back to the ’80s with the ultimate indie rock band…and jam out to a guy who acts and sounds just like Morrissey” – Thrillist (2023) In 2022 members of The Sons & Heirs regrouped as The Smiths Tribute NYC.

The band has shared the stage with many special guests including Morrissey’s long-time drummer Spencer Cobrin, Doug Gillard (Guided By Voices), and late Smiths’ bassist Andy Rourke, who told a journalist “these guys love the band, and they’re really passionate about it.” “Almost as good as the real thing! They do it seriously, but without taking themselves too seriously. Lots of fun!” – Ticketmaster review (Bowery Ballroom 2023) Buy Tickets
