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.”

The tour launches as his latest single “Happens Like That” is set to break into the top 15 powered by fan support nationwide.  Granger Smith’s connection to his fans is unique even among the country genre.  As Smith criss-crosses the nation on this tour, he continues to call fans daily fulfilling a pledge he made to personally call everyone that bought his latest album during release week.

Over the course of his groundbreaking career, Granger Smith has amassed a massive and rabid audience now known as “YEE YEE Nation” built through heavy touring and grassroots fan engagement. He now has a social media following of over 6.5 million and over a quarter of a BILLION online video views.

By on May 4, 2014 in In The Press

Country music artist and proud patriot Granger Smith is lacing up his BOOTS once again for the fourth annual Boot Walk, May 4-8, 2014. Granger will begin the 100-mile trek in Austin, Texas and will spend five days wearing out those combat boots all the way to Fort Hood. Granger will celebrate the completion of the walk with friends William Clark Green, Josh Grider, Brian Keane, and Cody Bryan in concert Thursday, May 8th at Fort Hood Harley Davidson in Harker Heights, TX.  More artists will be announced soon. Proceeds raised from the Boot Walk and concert benefit the Boot Campaign, a national 501c3 non-profit dedicated to promoting patriotism, raising awareness, and providing assistance to military families.

 

“Boot Walk started as a crazy extension of my entertainment tours in Iraq as a way to say thank you to our armed forces.  Now at year 4, it has turned into a very passionate fundraiser to me,” said Granger Smith. “I firmly believe that my career as a musician is enabled by the brave men & women that ensure our freedom.  There’s not a month in the year now that I’m not wearing combat boots and thinking about the next 100 miles.”

 

Granger is inviting friends to join him on this walk of gratitude: whether it’s by raising funds for his efforts, joining him locally on the walk or by hosting a “shadow walk” in your hometown.  Visit BootWalk.com to learn how you can support Granger and to see all the “free stuff” you can earn while supporting Granger and Boot Campaign.

 

“This year, we have had added new components to Boot Walk in an effort to allow Granger’s fans to join him and show their support,” said Deanna Kenisell, Co-Special Events Coordinator for Boot Campaign.  “We are excited to have more people join in the Boot Walk experience with Granger and make a bigger impact on our desire to awaken the patriot in us all and give back to our troops when they come back.”

 

Granger and friends will be in concert on May 8th at Fort Hood Harley Davidson located at 875 W Central Texas Expressway, Harker Heights, TX.  Tickets go on sale March 21st on http://BootWalk.com.
