Corey Smith

Corey Smith's distinctive incredible live show, combined with pensive, well-crafted lyrics and soulful Southern voice has earned him an enthusiastic legion of fans. Smith says, "It really starts with a song. We haven't created some magical formula. It's just about writing songs that, for one reason or another, connect with people and impact their lives."
I think it's a little of everything," says Smith in describing his innovative style. "We don't live in cultural bubbles anymore. We're all exposed to many different types of music through TV, radio, and now especially the internet. I like to think my songs reflect the variety of musical styles that have impacted my life in Georgia. Gospel, country, blues, rock, hip-hop - strands of all these are there.
"I have such a personal, intimate relationship with the songs," he says of his music. "As I've matured, the songs have matured. People ask me what my favorite song is and every time my answer is, 'The most recent song I've written.' I feel like with every song I'm a little bit closer to explaining who I am."
The beginning of 2009 finds Smith writing a host of new songs and embarking on yet another high-energy, jam-packed tour. Stay tuned to coreysmith.com for the latest tour and news updates for this rising star who is constantly on the move.
