Born from grief. Built on love. Founded by Fenton Garner — a mechanic who picked up a dusty guitar and wrote a song for the woman he had lost.
♪ For Clara Garner · 1982–2020 ♪"His hands were stiff. His eyes were full of tears. But he reached for the guitar anyway — and what came out of that broken night became the foundation of everything Songs Smith is today."
— The night Songs Smith was bornFenton spent years chasing music in Nashville before the dream broke him. He became a mechanic. The guitar sat dusty in the corner for nearly a decade.
Then Clara walked into a bar on a rainy Tuesday. She was the only one who stayed for every single song. They married two years later. In spring 2020, Clara passed from COVID-19. She was 38.
"Surrounded by her photographs with tears in his eyes, he reached for that dusty guitar. He wrote her a song. A gift he could never give her."
