Ed Smith (Lead Vocals & Acoustic Guitar) was born in New York State, but still loses his way up there when visting kinfolk. He has been Judge Smith's front man and rhythm guitarist since its inception. Judge Smith performs numerous compositions penned by Ed.
John David Coppola (Bass & Vocals)
is a native Washingtonian. John plays bass full-time and has solidified a career in the DC music scene for over two decades. John's funky bass lines and smooth harmonies are heard throughout the band's CDs, Feel It and Visions.
Pete Eisler (Lead Guitar & Vocals)
originally hails from New York and has been playing with popular DC area bands since the late 1980s. All lead guitar work and several rhythm tracks, as well as harmony vocals, on Feel It, are performed by Pete.
Michelle Grasso (Lead Vocals)
is from Pennsylvania and now lives in Woodbridge, VA. She joined the band in early 2007 and has added not only some much needed good looks, but truly immense lead vocals and harmonies. She packs a huge wallup for her tiny frame and can also sing sweet ballads with the best of them.
Judge Smith also features drummers Joe Wells, Tony Miller, Bill Stat, and Seth Brown. Joe Wells, originally from Richmond VA, currently tours and records as a member of The Tom Principato Band. He appears on the most recent Principato CD, House on Fire. Joe is a 1995 graduate of the Drummer's Collective in NYC. Tony Miller is a master percussionist, living in Capitol Heights, MD. He sat in with the band at a private party this summer and continues to perform with Judge Smith to this day. We hope he keeps showing us the love.
