Bio
http://www.lemoncentral.com
Roger Smith, vocalist and songwriter for the band Lemon, began his music career in Boston with a well-loved pop group, Frankly Scarlett. Frankly Scarlett performed in venues throughout Boston, Cambridge, and greater New England, including Avalon, Venus De Milo, TT the bears, The Rathskellar, Local 186, Toad, The Plough and Stars. They also played extensively throughout the college circuit including Boston University, Emerson, Tufts, Brandeis, and Boston College.
Smith relocated to New York in the summer of 1995 and fronted several New York bands in the ensuing years, releasing two CDs of material from those efforts. In early 1999, Smith teamed with producer/arranger/guitarist Thor Madsen, and from these collaborations, LEMON was born. In addition to the new release, "Weight of the World", Lemon has released two previous volumes: The debut EP, "Strangedays", and the sophomore effort, "NUMB".
The members of LEMON have shared the stage with a far ranging collection of great artists including Norah Jones, Morphine, Letters to Cleo, The Mighty Bosstones, and Wax Poetic to mention a few.
