Conner Smith Talks Smoky Mountains
It's been five years since Conner Smith signed his record deal, and he did a lot of growing up while making his debut album. He believes that Smoky Mountains tells that story. "It really does capture the story I wanted to tell, which is the story of growing up and figuring out who I am and the heartbreak and love of the last two years from signing a record deal at 18 to becoming a man over the last five years. I really tried to make an album that encompassed some of that and kinda had every song tell a different side of the story."
Conner will make the TV debut of the fist single from the album "Creek Will Rise" this Wednesday on TODAY with Hoda and Jenna. Set your DVR!
