Canaan Smith kicked off his own Stompin’ Grounds Tour on Friday (November 6th) in Charlotte, North Carolina. The trek, which features newcomer Russell Dickerson, will hit 11 cities through December 11th.

The title of Canaan’s tour comes from a song on his debut album, Bronco, which was released earlier this year. “‘Stompin’ Grounds’ is a track on the album, and it’s just a song that pays tribute to hometowns across America where your roots are at, being proud of that and the stories that you have from the towns you grew up in,” says the Virginia native. “So, each night I’m going to take those ideals to whatever city I’m in and give people a chance to kind of immerse themselves and recollect and sort of conjure up feelings from their hometowns and make it feel like we came to celebrate their town.”

Canaan, who is making his way up the country charts with “Hole in a Bottle,” will make stops in Nashville on Thursday (November 12th), Greenville, South Carolina Friday (November 13th) and Winston-Salem, North Carolina Saturday (November 14th).
