Corey Smith: 21 After 21 Tour

One of country music's most successful and enduring independent artists, Corey Smith hits the road for his 21 After 21 Tour celebrating 21 years of being on the road and touring full time. Corey Smith developed a passion for music at a young age. After graduating from the University of Georgia, he worked briefly as a high school teacher before turning his focus full-time to music. Smith launched his music career independently, building a grassroots following through relentless touring and self-released albums. His debut album, Undertones (2003), introduced fans to his honest, storytelling style and themes rooted in Southern life, personal reflection, and working-class values. He continued to release several albums on his own, including In the Mood (2004), The Good Life (2005), and Hard-Headed Fool (2007), all of which further solidified his reputation as both a songwriter and producer. In 2011, Corey released The Broken Record via Average Joe's Entertainment, produced by Rick Beato. The album cracked the Top 20 on the Billboard country charts---peaking at No. 17---and remains one of his most commercially successful releases. In 2015, Smith partnered with Sugar Hill Records to release While the Gettin' Is Good, produced by the legendary Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band). The album introduced a more polished sound while preserving the lyrical authenticity that had always defined his work.
