Artist Information
Representing a new generation of hitmaker, Conner Smith is an emerging Country artist building on breakout success, who’s growing catalog reflects an instinctual mix of craftsmanship and mass appeal. A Nashville native carrying on Country’s proud singer/songwriter tradition, the GOLD-selling entertainer wields a sturdy, salt-of-the-earth vocal and first found success capturing youthful energy, but now begins a new chapter of growth. Parlaying a teenaged publishing deal into his 2022 debut DIDN’T GO TOO FAR, Smith’s Top 40 arrival “Learn From It,” viral smash “I Hate Alabama” and GOLD-certified hit “Take It Slow” earned the rising star a legion of followers and “artist to watch” accolades from Spotify, Amazon Music, Pandora, Opry NextStage, Music Row and CMT, who dubbed the promising talent “an unstoppable force to be reckoned with.” After hitting the road with Thomas Rhett, Cole Swindell, Chase Rice and Parker McCollum, Smith followed up with a jam-packed 2024 which kicked off with his full-length album SMOKY MOUNTAINS, pairing sharp hooks and timeless Country sonics with a sincere nod to his love for Appalachia. Featuring the GOLD-certified, multi-week international chart-topper “Creek Will Rise” and “masterclass in storytelling” (All Country News) “Meanwhile In Carolina,” Smith continued his year with earning his first ACM Awards nomination, plus releasing the all-acoustic SMOKY MOUNTAINS SESSIONS and fast-paced “Steal My Thunder” (feat. Tucker Wetmore) featured in the summer blockbuster Twisters: The Movie and on the film’s star-studded soundtrack, with more new music still to come. His recent project THE STORYTELLER, which arrived on Friday (10/4), saw Smith turning a creative page and reaching what he considered his “natural” artistic state. A five-song contemplation and reflective-roots standout, filled with thoughtful passion and coming-of-age clarity, the project followed Smith’s headlining THE STORYTELLER TOUR. Smith had also recently reunited with tourmate Luke Bryan to directly support his Farm Tour. For a full list of tour dates and more, visit ConnerSmithMusic.com.
