Get ready for the ultimate NFR® after-party experience at Gilley's*! Join us for live music following the rodeo with a special performance by Canaan Smith.

After years of writing, working and refining his craft, Smith first hit it big in 2015 with "Love You Like That," the lead single off The critically acclaimed album “BRONCO”. The PLATINUM-selling song skyrocketed to #1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart and announced Smith as one of country's hottest young artists – one with serious musical chops and the kind of unique sound that could stand out in an increasingly crowded field. The BRONCO album spawned a second top 40 hit when “Hole In A Bottle” landed at #20. Smith’s high octane show quickly

earned his spot on some of country music’s biggest tours, including an opening slot on Dierks Bentley’s 2015 Sounds of Summer Tour and direct support for Brantley Gilbert’s 2018 Blackout Tour. Recently, Canaan seized on the opportunity to sign a new record deal with his college buddies Tyler Hubbard & Brian Kelly of FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE and has been touring extensively with the superstar duo. In addition to putting out his own music, Canaan has been getting a TON of outside cuts lately- on top of multiple cuts on the latest Florida Georgia Line

record and SEVEN songs on Brian Kelley’s solo record on Warner Nashville. Canaan is a writer on 2 songs on HARDY’s Hixtape Vol. II including the Morgan Wallen collaboration “Goin’ Nowhere” and has pending cuts with Jake Owen & Tyler Hubbard. Smith has earned a solid reputation for well crafted songs and one of country music’s most dynamic live shows.
