We have been playing y’alls Conner Smith’s “Creek Will Rise.”
We love Conner Smith and that song, but he also just dropped his debut album ‘Smoky Mountains’ that is flying up the country music charts.
Smith went on Taste Of Country Nights, On Demand and tells a story about him attending a Thomas Rhett concert in 2016 and the impact it had on him.
“When I was 16, I went on a date with a girl to a Thomas Rhett show. I remember, it was out at Ascend Amphitheater, and uh, we were up in the lawn. He played ‘Die a Happy Man,’ and we were trying … I was trying to like slow dance with her, like, be all sweet.”
“The next day, she broke up with me,” Smith adds.
“And then like 4 years later, I’m on tour with him [Rhett] and I’m like, ‘I guess I got the last laugh there,’ you know what I mean?” Smith recalls.
