Biography
Indie folk-pop duo The Jinxes is a collaboration between Monterey Bay Area singer/songwriters Kevin Smith and Deanna Ross. Inspired by the creative process and each other, The Jinxes explore upbeat, harmony-rich terrain in their co-written work.
Originally from upstate New York, Smith brings two decades of songwriting and a clean pop guitar sound to The Jinxes, while Ross, a native Californian, lends her distinctive vocals and lyrics. Their musical influences include The Weepies, Girlyman, David Gray, Tina Malia and The Indigo Girls.
When not playing music, The Jinxes can often be found puttering in the kitchen (or packing school lunches), sweating in a dance or yoga studio, or exploring other artists’ work.
