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.
Corey’s latest release, Suburban Drawl, was recorded at the iconic Sound Emporium in Nashville, TN and produced by singer-songwriter Erik Dylan. The album offers a fresh take on his Southern storytelling roots, combining heartland rock tones with lyrical maturity.
Throughout his career, Corey Smith has remained a touring powerhouse, often performing over 100 shows a year. His songs—like “If I Could Do It Again,” “Twenty-One,” and “Drinkin’ Again”—resonate with fans for their relatability and down-to-earth storytelling.

Corey Smith
Country
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 currently on tour.
