Event Details

Ordinary Boys formed in Miami, FL in 2010 by vocalist AJ Navarrete with the idea to pay homage to the legacy of

The Smiths and Morrissey.

The origin of the name emerged after Morrissey’s song titled 'The Ordinary Boys' from his debut album ‘Viva

Hate’ & in part to the ordinary concept behind 'The Smiths' name.

After performing their first show in the iconic Churchill’s Pub in the city of Miami, the Boys never expected the

celebrated success and approval they had among Smiths and Moz fans. As a result, more shows followed, making

the band one of South Florida’s best kept secrets.

In 2015, guitarist Byron Lopez and drummer Rees Bridges joined the project. In recent years and with the

addition of bassist Craig Rittenhouse in 2021, the band have spent countless hours perfecting note by note the

sound of their Manchester heroes.

Performing timeless cult hit such as “This Charming Man”, “How Soon is Now?” “Suedehead” and “Bigmouth”,

Ordinary Boys have established themselves as a premier tribute act to The Smiths and Morrissey.
