The forecast is calling for “Beer Drinkin’ Weather” this weekend, as ROUND HERE RECORDS’ CANAAN SMITH world premieres the rowdy video for his brand-new party anthem exclusively on CMT Hot 20 Countdown, CMT Music and CMT.com this Saturday (8/17). Beginning Sunday (8/18), the video can be seen across all digital platforms.
 
Directed by Thomas Heney and Adam Romaine, the clip gives fans a peek at what really goes down behind-the-scenes on Florida Georgia Line’s CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR. Filmed during tour stops in Holmdel, NJ, Mansfield, MA and Camden, NJ, Smith gets the party started everywhere he goes – from shotgunning beers with tour mates Tyler Hubbard, Brian Kelley, Morgan Wallen and HARDY to tailgating with fans in the mud – proving that, rain or shine, it’s always “Beer Drinkin’ Weather” on the road.
 
“The video captures the rowdy spirit of the song so authentically,” Smith shares exclusively with CMT. “Country music fans show up thirsty, so we didn’t have to twist any arms out there. I love how the lyrics come to life through drinking games and bus hangs.”

The up-tempo track was co-written by Smith with longtime friends Kelley and Hubbard plus chart-topping Tree Vibez Music writer Corey Crowder. All about taking life as it comes and making the most of any situation, it showcases Smith’s new, elevated mindset and marks the beginning of a whole new creative chapter in his career.

Just announced as the first artist signed to Kelley and Hubbard’s newly-formed label, ROUND HERE RECORDS, Smith is sure to pop the top on “Beer Drinkin’ Weather” during his recently-expanded full-band set on Florida Georgia Line’s CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR – stopping in Scranton, PA tonight (8/16) and Hershey, PA tomorrow (8/17).

 

ABOUT CANAAN SMITH
A native of Williamsburg, Virginia, Smith earned his first Top 10 hit as a songwriter with Love and Theft’s 2009 debut, “Runaway.” He’s built on that success with more co-written hits including cuts by Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line and Cole Swindell – as well as Big Loud Records/Atlantic Records breakout star Mason Ramsey, who has made the Smith co-write “Famous” into a viral smash in 18 countries. As an artist, Smith’s co-written 2014 single “Love You Like That” became a PLATINUM-certified #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and was followed up by the Top 25 hit “Hole In a Bottle.” His 2017 single, “This Night Back,” has racked up over 30 million digital streams and counting, helping launch the unique entertainer into the next chapter of his career. Smith has been revealed as the first artist signed to Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line’s newly-formed label, ROUND HERE RECORDS, with the infectious positivity of his new track “Beer Drinkin’ Weather” leading the charge. More new music is set to roll out soon, and Smith is currently a featured performer on Florida Georgia Line’s CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR.
