Singer-songwriter “Corey Smith” will perform a solo acoustic show at the
Florida Theatre on Saturday, July 17, 2021 at 8 p.m. Corey Smith, the fan-made
man, has sold over 1 million concert tickets, 1.5 million digital singles and
over 220,000 albums. Corey’s Spotify channel has amassed over 5.76 million
listeners with more than 73 million streams and is currently averaging over
1.13 million streams each month.
Smith has amassed an unfailingly devout fan base, not only in his native
Southeast region, but all around the nation, simply by telling it the way it
is. He has released 10 albums—including 2011’s Top 20 release The
Broken Record. Corey has written every word on every album and has
produced 9 out of 10 of the records. In Summer 2015, Corey teamed up with
producer Keith Stegall (Alan Jackson, Zac Brown Band) for his album, While
the Gettin’ Is Good, released on Sugar Hill Records.
Smith’s concerts, which were documented on his last live record, Live
in Chattanooga, regularly sell out, with audiences singing along to such
fan favorites as the coming-of-age anthem “Twenty-One,” the nostalgic time warp
“If I Could Do It Again” and the group hug “I Love Everyone”. Corey has a
consistent touring history, usually hitting around 120 dates per year, but
recently has taken a pause form touring to undergo a risky eye surgery.
During his time at home, Corey has begun releasing solo acoustic tracks every
week, directly to his devoted fan base via his YouTube series Songsmith
Weekly and all music streaming platforms. These tracks, such as
“Cellophane”, “Where I Wish I Was” and “Going Blind” have re-energized his fan
base. Corey is planning in compiling these releases in a more traditional
album format later this year and is looking forward to hitting the road soon in
support of all this new music.
The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre is sponsored by Community First Credit
Union. For a complete list of upcoming events or to buy tickets visit the

Singer, songwriter and producer Deana Carter will
give a live acoustic performance at Terry Theater at the Times-Union Center for
the Performing Arts. The 90s country music artist will be featured in an
intimate acoustic setting where her powerful voice and guitar are the
subject of the spotlight. This will be an up-close and personal event
punctuated by personal stories and anecdotes about her life and musical influences,
while performing some of her biggest hits, including: “Strawberry Wine,” “We Danced
Anyway,” and “Did I Shave My Legs for This?”.
Her superstar success continues to be evident as the chart topper “You & Tequila,” co- written
with Matraca Berg and recorded by Kenny Chesney, was nominated as CMA’s “Song
of the Year”, as well as two Grammy nods, notably the coveted “Song of the Year” and also
received a nomination as ACM’s “Song of the Year”.
Sparta, Ga. native Faren Rachels will be the opening support act. In November
of 2017 Rachels released the self-titled EP, “Faren Rachels” & joined Luke
Combs on his fall tour. During this time, Rolling Stone named her one of
2018’s new country “artists to watch”.
About Deana Carter: Drenched in sun-kissed natural beauty both
inside and out, Deana Carter didn’t take a seemingly easy route to
stardom, but instead chose to defy the conventional expectations of the typical
Nashville artist blueprint and make her own mark. And she did, undeniably
taking the industry and fans by storm with her wildly successful multi- platinum
international debut “Did I Shave My Legs For This?” more than a decade ago. Anchored
by the dreamy super hit “Strawberry Wine,” Carter showcased her own blend of
country and retro-rock sprinkled with the folksy singer/songwriter qualities
that have garnered Deana Carter well-deserved respect and wild
acclaim.
