Conner Smith, who has a UK Country number one single, is set to unveil his latest project, "Smoky Mountain Sessions," on August 2 via The Valory Music Co.
A Milestone Year for Conner Smith
This release marks another highlight in a banner year for the rising star. Earlier in 2024, Smith dropped his debut album, "Smoky Mountains," which has already earned him his first ACM Awards nomination.
He has also graced numerous stages during multiple headlining tours.
Inside "Smoky Mountain Sessions"
Produced by Dwight A. Baker, "Smoky Mountain Sessions" was recorded over four intense days at Echo Mountain Studio in Asheville, North Carolina.
The project features new renditions of “Roulette On The Heart (feat. Hailey Whitters)” and two brand-new tracks penned solely by Smith.
“'Smoky Mountain Sessions' came from a desire to get back to the core of songwriting. With these new songs, two of which I wrote by myself, I wanted to create them in a way that felt very raw and honest,” Smith shares.
“Working with Dwight Baker for the first time on this project, we took my band up to Echo Mountain in Asheville and brought these songs to life over the course of four days.
This collection is just the beginning of more new music on the way. I can’t wait to share!”
New Single: "Steal My Thunder"
Last week, Smith released “Steal My Thunder (feat. Tucker Wetmore),” a collaboration he wrote with Matt Jenkins, Ben Johnson, and Blake Pendergrass.
This track will be featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming "Twisters" film, set to premiere on July 19.
“Having the opportunity to be a part of the 'Twisters' movie and album is a very cool honor,” says Smith.
“With such a high-caliber group of artists featured on the project and an already iconic movie, being asked to write a song for it was creatively inspiring.
Adding Tucker Wetmore to the song took it to a new level, and I’m glad he was able to join us in bringing ‘Steal My Thunder’ to life.”
What's Next?
Smith’s fans can look forward to the release of "Smoky Mountain Sessions" on August 2 and more new music in the near future.
With his continued success and growing acclaim, Conner Smith is undoubtedly an artist to watch.
