Canaan Smith just wrapped his stint on Dierks Bentley’s Sounds of Summer Tour over the weekend, and he’s looking ahead to his headlining Stompin’ Grounds Tour, kicking off November 6th in Charlotte, North Carolina.
No matter if he’s performing 20 minutes as an opening act or more than an hour as a headliner, Canaan says he puts his all into his shows. ““I leave it all on the stage. I exhaust myself every night,” says Canaan. “I beat the hell out of the drums for the last song, and I hype the crowd. I milk every moment I can. I squeeze the rag as hard as I can in my 20-minute set just to get as much out of the crowd as I can. So, I hope that people notice that, and I think that they do.”
Canaan is currently climbing the country charts with “Hole in a Bottle,” the follow-up to his recent No. 1 single, “Love You Like That.” Both songs are from his debut album, Bronco.
