ACM nominee Conner Smith has found new management in the form of Jake Kinney’s newly launched Pioneer Artists, an endeavor in partnership with Chris Kappy of Make Wake Artists.

Nashville native Smith, whose Victory Music project Smoky Mountains Sessions has been certified gold, is represented globally by Aaron Tannebaum and Alex Collignon at WME and Home Team Publishing/Warner Chappell.

The artist can currently be heard on the hit soundtrack of Twisters: The Movie with “Steal My Thunder" featuring Tucker Wetmore.

Smith’s touring schedule for the rest of the year is jam-packed, with dates starting 8/21 in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. He’ll spend most of the fall on the Storytellers tour, which features co-bills with Jonathan Hutcherson and Zach John King. Smith will also join Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour for six dates between 9/19 and 9/28.

"My favorite part of this industry is the people I get to share the pursuit of this dream with," said Smith, pictured center between Kappy and Kinney. "The shared alignment and excitement between Jake, Kappy and me is an inspiring and rare thing to find!”
