Rising Artist Corey Smith

Corey Smith is a creative artist with a unique skill of making country sound bearable for just about every type of music lover. He gives his work a type of upbeat feel that makes it almost impossible for any listener not to want to jump up and start throwing down on the dance floor. He sings about the simple things in life but the type of things you want to remember forever and the type of experiences you’ll never forget. Originally starting by playing in bars around Athens, Georgia Corey quickly grew more and more popular and his audience soon began to exceed just his college peers. Today his fans number in the hundreds of thousands to millions and his shows are constantly sold out and packed to capacity. Yet through all of it he says fame is not what he’s all about. He keeps to his roots as a musician and continues to strive to make better and better music that people can relate to and fall in love with. Fame is just a side note bonus to him so perhaps that’s the reason for his success. His new album Keeping up with the Joneses is a great taste of the type of finished and polished sound Corey is creating today. On it he works with some big name artists and talented musicians. The album overall is an edgy upbeat feel that has no holds barred profanity and feeling that comes out strong in his music. He gives country a new feel that may be able to attract a whole new crew of listeners to country that before wouldn’t think twice about this type of music. All in all Corey Smith is an exciting new artist whose rise should be an interesting thing to watch.
