Round Here Records’ PLATINUM hitmaker Canaan Smith casts off his brand-new video series today – The Dock Sessions. Putting a fresh spin on his new music, fan-favorite hits and some of the songs that have inspired him over the years, this series will bring viewers down to the water for never-before-seen acoustic performances – leading off with his latest release “Colder Than You.”

“Back when I was younger and writing music in Virginia, I used to test out all my new songs by playing them to buddies at the end of this dock,” Smith explains. “When I started writing a new batch of tunes this year, ones that are truly inspired by my roots, it just made sense that I take them back to where it all began – except this time, I’m inviting everyone down to the dock to hear what I’ve been working on.”

Smith co-wrote "Colder Than You" with Corey Crowder and Jared Mullins as well as co-produced alongside Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. Continuing to garner praise, the “deliberately stripped-down” (Rolling Stone) tune is taken to the next level with this acoustic update – highlighting Smith’s “raw tone” (Billboard) and “honey-and-bourbon-drenched southern drawl” (The Virginian-Pilot), while bringing even more attention to the calculated lyrics that manage to put a twangy twist on heartbreak – or lack thereof.

Just in time for fall, Smith recently revealed his plans to release another new track titled “Cabin In The Woods” on 10/23.

ABOUT CANAAN SMITH
Canaan Smith is back with his clever new single, “Colder Than You”- a backcountry-infused, twangy twist on heartbreak – or lack thereof. Continuing to build on his signature sound, which he describes as “Canaan Country,” more new music is expected to release later this fall. A burgeoning Tree Vibez Music songwriter, Smith’s credit is on hits by Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Cole Swindell, Mason Ramsey and more, which paved the way for his signing to Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line’s record label, Round Here Records. Debuting with a fresh set of songs - “Beer Drinkin’ Weather,” “Country Boy Things”, “Life Ain’t Fair,” and “Pour Decisions” – the releases follow Smith’s 2014 PLATINUM-certified #1 “Love You Like That” and fan-favorite “Hole in a Bottle.” A featured performer on FGL’s 2019 CAN’T SAY I AIN’T COUNTRY TOUR, the Williamsburg, Virginia-native wrapped his headline POUR DECISIONS TOUR earlier this year.
