New York, NY – Hit maker Granger Smith brought the YEE YEE Nation brand of country to the city last night during an electrifying show at New York City’s famed Irving Plaza, marking both the launch of his 2018 DON’T TREAD ON ME TOUR and his New York City full band debut show. Playing to a packed house, Smith performed a charged set of songs from his new album When The Good Guys Win, mixed with beloved tracks from previous records. This headlining tour will take him to every corner of the US and bookends with a run of shows in Canada in April.
Smith, whose hits include the No. 1 RIAA GOLD “Backroad Song,” “If The Boot Fits” and current single “Happens Like That,” has steadily and swiftly built his career and aptly birthed an unparalleled brand. Dubbed Yee Yee Nation, his rabid and energized followers continue to show up in droves and last night was no exception. “This show is special because not only is it the first time we’ve played New York City, but because this is such a packed house,” Smith told the crowd. “It’s cool to see so many country fans in one of the greatest music cities in the world.” Digital Journal wrote, ”Granger Smith put on a high-octane live concert in the heart of New York City and gave his Manhattan fans a night of country music to remember.”
