Smalltown Poets is a Christian rock band formed in 1996. It was formed in Tifton, Georgia by high school friends Michael Johnston (guitars/vocals), Danny Stephens (keyboards), and Byron Goggin (drums).
The band achieved recognition with their eponymous first album, released in 1997. Despite line-up changes, the band has managed to stay active and relevant for more than ten years, releasing three albums on ForeFront Records and one on BEC Recordings. The band is currently on hiatus after their fourth studio album called It's Later Than It's Ever Been.
