Continuing to super serve his loyal fan base as he readies his forthcoming full-length debut, CONNER SMITH has dropped a fresh acoustic version of his bluegrass-inflected twang rocker “Creek Will Rise” (The Valory Music Co.). The blood-pumping single is currently US Top-20-and-rising at Country radio while amassing nearly 40 million streams to date with Country Central declaring it “an absolute barn-burner from the first note.”
Smith continues to put on his signature “high energy fan forward show” (All Country News) on the road as direct support on Cole Swindell’s TWELVE TOUR, following a packed year touring coast to coast with some of Country’s biggest artists including Luke Bryan, Chase Rice and Jordan Davis. Next up, he’ll embark on his second headline trek of 2023 on the CREEK WILL RISE TOUR with special guests Lauren Watkins and John Morgan beginning November 2 in Athens, Georgia.
