| abstract | - The Smoking Flowers are a rock duo from Nashville, TN composed of husband and wife Scott and Kim Collins. Their style incorporates stylings from roots, alt-country, punk, and folk. Their sound has been described by Alt Country Magazine as, "less traditional than your classic country-folk duo by bringing a punk-attitude and energy to their highly infectious songs. A marriage of song and voice that is uniquely their own." Kim and Scott are both vocalists and multi-instrumentalists. In any given show, lead vocalist Kim will play accordion, harmonica, drums, ukulele, mandolin and guitar, while Scott plays lead guitar, harmonica and sings. Their sound encompasses a wide range; they have been described as everywhere from "beautifully ragged; sometimes beautifully haunting; many times beautifully goofy-grinned and/or playful, pleading, and pledging – but always beautiful" to "Kurt Cobain's ratty sweater traded for a CBGB tshirt and a bolo tie."
